Kingsmead Stadium was a greyhound racing and motorcycle speedway track and Association football ground in Canterbury.

In 1977, the speedway promoters Johnnie Hoskins and Wally Mawdsley had to go to court in order to keep the track open after complaints of noise from local residents.

Race days were Tuesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, trials were held on Monday mornings and the original circumference was 357 m (1,171 ft) with distances of 400, 578 and 757 metres with an 'Outside Sumner' hare.
