[1] The Greyhound Racing Association (GRA) purchased open land on Sloper Road opposite the Ninian Park Primary School and Sevenoaks Park, an area covered today by housing and retail buildings as the site for the stadium.

The GRA (South Wales) erected six kennel blocks under the grandstand capable of housing 180 dogs.

The first hurdle event was declared a no-race because the dogs fought each other and none of them completed the 470 yard trip.

Fine weather returned on the Easter Monday and 25,000 people paid either 2s 4d or 5/-to get into the stadium.

[5] The GRA realised that they were fighting a losing battle to compete with the rival Cardiff Arms Park that was in a better location in the city and was gaining larger attendances so they decided to put the stadium up for sale.
