Relaxed country racing. Every Friday & Sunday.

The Healesville Greyhound Association offers the only straight track in Victoria, located in picturesque hills of the Yarra Valley. Famed for its family-friendly picnic atmosphere, entry is FREE to all Friday and Sunday race meets.

20:20 racing

The 'go slow' nature of the country gets flipped for the fast paced action at the Healesville Greyhounds every 20 minutes. It's a potent mix that makes a race day at our track something to behold. Set amongst the backdrop of the stunning Yarra Valley, fresh country air and warbling magpies, every 20 minutes of quiet gets broken by less than 20 seconds of helter skelter racing.

This type of 20:20 leaves the big bash for dead. Get into it
