The track opened in May 1949 for speedway and was located on the north side of Par Moor Road and south side of St Austell Road.[2]
Greyhound racingedit
Independent (unaffiliated to a governing body) greyhound racing took place from 11 July 1958 until 1986 over race distances of 250, 458, 650 and 860 metres.[3][1]
Stock car racing took place between 1980 and 1987 shortly before the closure of the stadium. Sidecar Racing, Midget Racing and Go Karts were also held at the venue.[1]
Closureedit
The stadium was redeveloped into the Cornish Market World in 1988.[5]
