Greyhound racing is one of the most followed sports in Australia. It’s exciting, fast-paced, and definitely action-packed. In South Australia, the first greyhound racecourse is Angle Park. It is just off South Road and holds weekly meetings several times a week, particularly Monday and Wednesday nights and Thursday mornings.
The first Adelaide greyhound race at Angle Park was held on 20 April 1972. In addition to the regular meetings held on weekdays, races are also held here on weekends and are held held more frequently as the peak season approaches. Angle Park is considered one of the best places for greyhound racing as it offers arena racing and has tried another type of lure system, namely the wire lure system.
The runway has a total circumference of 457 meters, with a radius of 51 meters and a width of 6.5 meters. The races are held at different distances: 515, 600 and 731 meters. Thirty minutes before the first race is the expected time for the kennel. In addition to the actual racing, Angle Park also hosts trial races, held on Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings. Trial races are held in all or in any of the 3 distances.
Some of Angle Park’s notable features include the sandy surface track and the wire lure system it uses. It offers full TAB and bookmaker facilities on site and even gets TV coverage from SKY where you can watch video replays of races at the track for those families and professionals who sadly missed the race or even those who just want to watch. the race again for a perfect night. You can also park your vehicles inside the enclosure for free as the place offers free parking for everyone. However, if you are wondering if you can camp on site, unfortunately there are no camping facilities available for traveling coaches. Kennels are also not available for greyhounds.
Of course, in each race that is held there must be bets. If you are going to bet on the Angle Park Greyhounds, you will have two options. One is traditional betting and the other is internet betting. Many people these days probably prefer to bet over the internet more for convenience and easy accessibility, but some still prefer the traditional way of betting no matter how time consuming their usual procedures are when it comes to processing bets.
Also known as Greyhound Park, Angle Park is definitely the premier greyhound racing park not only in Adelaide but also in all of South Australia.
