Wentworth Park’s greyhound track is being demolished by year’s end, marking the end of a 94-year racing legacy — and making way for a massive urban renewal project rivaling Darling Harbour. With animal welfare, financial pressures, and redevelopment potential pushing the greyhound association to end its lease early, the last race in Sydney hits October, a full year ahead of schedule. The 14-hectare site, adjacent to the redeveloping Sydney Fish Market and under the Anzac Bridge, will become a vibrant green space with wetlands, playgrounds, and sports fields — supporting up to 2,000 new homes. The government’s $10 million payout to the industry signals a swift transition, as other NSW tracks also shutter. This fast-tracked plan aims to deliver parklands before Christmas, turning racing history into a thriving urban future.
