WAIRARAPA GREYHOUND RACING CLUB
Solway Park is the sole remaining grass racing surface for the greyhound Code in this country and is an idyllic location. Traditionally a popular venue for the educating and trailling of young greyhounds, the Club also hosts a number of 'picnic' type race meetings each season with much emphasis placed on family attendance and interaction with attendees.
