Racing takes place every Monday and Friday evening and the facilities include a fast food bar and totalisator betting.[2] Race distances are 525, 550, 750 and 805 yards.[3] HistoryLongford Greyhound Stadium is accessed via Earl Street and is just about the most centrally located track you can get in Ireland. The south Longford venue has a circumference of 485 yards and opened in May 1939. The track hosts the Longford Derby & Longford Puppy Derby and other events to have taken place previously here are the Padian Cup and Smithwicks 550. One of the pioneers of the track was M.J.Lyons a local businessman and John Dorris (Managing Director) and Jim Conroy (former Racing Manager) have been long service personnel at the track.[4] The small track remains a tight circuit and in recent times has battled for survival during a hard financial climate. The management including current Racing Manager Patrick Farrington and the voluntary committee continues to work hard to achieve a safe surface and environment for the greyhounds to run in. In July 2014 the sale of the Park Road track was agreed to Scottish based greyhound owner Howard Wallace.[5][6] Competitions
