Aberdeen Regent Park was a greyhound racing stadium in Aberdeen.
The stadium opened on 25 June 1932 near School Road in Aberdeen. [1] The first race meeting featured thirty greyhounds in six races and attracted a crowd of 2,000. [2] The Aberdeen Greyhound Racing Company held racing on a regular basis at Regent Park over 315 & 360 yards. Despite two meetings held on Saturdays there was already plans to build a larger track called the Holburn Stadium. The track had a betting licence during 1935 and 1936 but the company was dissolved in 1940. [3] The stadium remained in place and is now used as an athletics stadium.
