Brough Park greyhound track is owned and operated by William Hill and following a make over a few years ago, is now known as Newcastle Greyhound Stadium. It’s a track that can boast a great night out for young adults as well as having the necessary facilities for families including the kids. They offer a host of concessions for groups and people wanting package deals. Newcastle is one of the most modern greyhound stadiums and they operate a disco after racing until late on Saturday nights.
