The stadium consists of the Coral grandstand which is situated on the finishing line side of the track and is split over two levels.

Archer Leggett and his brother-in-law rented a small piece of land near the Crown Hotel just off the London Road in Romford in 1929.

The venture only lasted one year because the landlord increased the rent, doubling it to £4 a week which resulted in the decision to move the greyhound operation.

Later £600 was raised which enabled Leggett to build a new track with a stand in a field within Belle Vue Meadow adjacent to the London and North Eastern Railway line.

The resident kennels were situated in Heaton Grange, 24 acres of ground off Straight Road to the north-east of Romford.

Trainers attached to the track during this time were Peter Hawkesley, Bill Riley, Bob Thomson and Hubert Gray.

[7] Training appointments towards the end of the decade and start of the 1970s included John Coleman and Terry Duggan and in 1975 a second feature event was added to the tracks portfolio when they introduced the Romford Puppy Cup.

[7] The new owners invested heavily into the track building a new grandstand which included a state of the art glass-fronted restaurant, the tote and hare system were also replaced.

In 1996 former Bolton boss Peter O’Dowd became Racing Manager taking over from Steve Daniel who had himself only recently replaced Ray Spalding.

[13][14] In 2020 the Cesarewitch competition was brought back after an eight-year dormant period, the event was sponsored by stadium owners Ladbrokes Coral as a category 1 race.

[15] In 2022, Entain signed a long-term deal with the Arena Racing Company for media rights, starting in January 2024.

[16] Several Underworld tracks are named after greyhounds that ran at the stadium, including Born Slippy, Sappy's Curry, and Pearl's Girl.
