The Glenview Park Racing Complex is owned by the Latrobe City and was designed and developed for the racing sport of gallopers, trotters and greyhounds.
The first official greyhound race meeting at the Complex was held on Thursday 28 th June 1973. The greyhound track was designed to provide two circular ends with parabolic curves either side which has provided safe racing conditions with little risk of injury to greyhounds.
Races are conducted over 298, 513, 658 and 730metres.
The lure is driven by an electric motor remotely controlled from the top floor of the tower above the grandstand. The starting boxes are electrically tripped and photo finish results are also taken from the tower.
A State of the Art Kennel Complex opened at Traralgon in September 2007; this project cost $1.2 Million. The kennels are world standard in terms of Animal Welfare.
On 27th November, 2006 a Wheel Chair lift was installed on the grandstand steps. This state of the art equipment has made Glenview Park user friendly for the disabled and elderly patrons.
