Wentworth Park in central Sydney hosted its final greyhound race on Friday night, ending nearly a century of racing at the venue. Thousands of racing fans attended the last meeting before the stadium faces planned demolition and conversion back to parkland.
The track, known locally as "Wenty," has operated since 1932. The closure marks the end of a major chapter in Australian sporting history, particularly for Sydney's inner-city entertainment landscape.
The Guardian reported that fans gathered to mark the occasion as the venue prepared for its transition from active racing facility to public parkland.
