HISTORY: The Melbourne Greyhound Racing Association (MGRA) is a not-for-profit (NFP) organisation and was inaugurated last century in 1955. The MGRA first home and track was in Maribyrnong before moving to North Melbourne and then into the heart of Melbourne’s sporting precinct, Olympic Park. Monday nights from 1962 become an institution for Melbourne’s Greyhound Racing Community. The association held race meetings at Olympic Park up until 1999 when it then shifted out to Broadmeadows to a state-of-the-art purpose designed and built track aptly named ‘The Meadows’.
