Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Then: Erie Downs Greyhound Association
Now: Cedargrove Heights. Harlem Rd & Maryvale Dr.

If the newspaper ads were to believed, the greyhound track at Maryvale and Harlem roads in Cheektowaga was "the most modern greyhound track in the United States" when it opened on June 29,1935.

The building of the $100,000 stadium was surrounded by controversy and fears that "illegal betting might flourish in connection with the enterprise."

Plans called for a concrete and steel grandstand with a seating capacity of about 4,000, a clubhouse capable of accommodating about a thousand, and a paddock with housing for 88 thoroughbred dogs.

The track proved very popular early on.

"All roads leading to the place were jammed, and aid from Cheektowaga and State police had to be summoned to keep the lines moving," reported the Courier-Express. At least 6,000 were there to see the dogs take their first practice run the night before the first race.

In what would now likely be described as the abuse of two different species of animals, The News reported a crowd of more the 12,000 was on hand for "jungle jockey night," when monkeys rode the greyhounds around the track.

Charges were made of graft, corruption, malfeasance, collusion and diversion of monies into the pockets of New York City racketeers. By 1938 the track was closed.

In 1942 the track, grandstand and outbuildings were torn down for the U.S.Government residential housing development to support the Curtiss Wright plant on Genesee Street and Ti-o-run-da.
