Leopardstown Racecourse

Built by Captain George Quin and modelled on Sandown Park Racecourse in England, it was completed in 1888 and acquired by the Horse Racing Board of Ireland in 1967.

In 1941, Royal Air Force pilot Hugh Verity, who flew many secret agents at night into and out of farm fields in France, force-landed on the racecourse.

Leopardstown Racecourse was originally served by Foxrock railway station on the Harcourt Street line until it closed in 1958.
