[1] Originally it was just a field used by a cricket team called the Skewen Lillywhites and known as the Waun.

[2] The track was started in the 1930s and opened by Will Thomas on the field, around the same time as the adjacent Tennant Park which was built in 1936 for Skewen RFC.

In 1967 the track added a football pitch inside the greyhound circuit and Neath Athletic FC became tenants, changing their name to Skewen Athletic (now called Neath F.C).

[3] The racing was independent (unaffiliated to a governing body) and by the late 1980s the track surface had been changed from grass to grass straights and sanded bends with the hare used being an 'Inside Sumner'.

[4] The stadium closed in 1994 [5] and was later demolished and is now housing called 'The Meadows'.
