It is the county ground of Kildare's gaelic football and hurling teams. It also served as the town's greyhound racing track from 1948 until 1968. GroundThe ground formerly had a capacity of 13,000, but following a health and safety audit in 2011, this was reduced to 8,000[1] and subsequently to 6,200.[2] Greyhound racingGreyhound racing at St Conleth's Park started on 30 April 1948.[3] After only one year the GAA governing body banned racing around all of their pitches which meant the greyhound racing was suspended.[4] However it restarted on 21 June 1950 with racing taking place over race distances of 310, 350, 525 and 550 yards and 350 yards hurdles. The racing lasted a further eighteen years up until 1968, when it was decided that the greyhound operation would be better suited outside of the town at venue where racing could take place on a purpose built stadium. That stadium was Newbridge Greyhound Stadium which opened in 1972.[5] See also
