History

The Adelaide Greyhound Racing Club held its first registered meeting with full betting facilities on 20 April 1972. In May 1990 the track underwent a series of improvements which included the addition of a track view restaurant, bistro and lounge bar. Four years later GRSA (with some assistance of government funding) purchased the freehold of a section of the Harold Tyler Reserve which included the race track. The track has hosted the Adelaide Cup since 1972. The event was previously held at Waterloo Corner from 1956 and then Bolivar.
