Year Round Racing
Southland. Home of the fastest greyhounds on the planet, running for the biggest daily purses in the United States. Owners dream to run here and greyhounds that win championships are talked about for generations. Over 4000 greyhound races take place at the park each year.
Opened in 1956, Southland Park has been entertaining patrons from the Natural State for over six decades! This is the highest paying track for owners in the country, with point values doubling and many times tripling the next nearest national greyhound venue. Southland also sports the richest greyhound race in the states with the $200,000 Great American Futurity Final contested in April.
History
Southland began as a canine racing track in 1956 and became Arkansas’s only greyhound track. The area around the park has certainly built up since this photo of the mostly rural property back in the 60’s.

Closers Paradise
With its deep demensions and elite competition at all levels, it takes a powerful greyhound to be successful at this track. Southland has produced many of the greatest closing efforts of all time.
Example here of Red Handed making miracles on the Super Marathon Course:
The 9 Box
The only place in the country you can see nine greyhounds duke it out. The purple with white lettering outfitted blankets are a rare site, as these lineups only happen in a handful of races on a card.
UGR National Champion Oaks Maddy
The National Championship that is put together by our partners at United Greyhound Racing has fielded three past winners. The latest back in 2017 was won by Oaks Maddy, who called Southland home for the second half of her career after starting at Palm Beach. Maddy won the the championship at the Daytona550 in a swift 29.98 secs that was just 0.01 secs off the course record time!
Greyhound Wall of Champions
Southland sports an impressive tradition of excellence and tradition that is memorialized in the Wall of Champions display. The trophies that are handed out on the final of a tournament are shown, along with the past winners of each tournament.
Replicas are made of the trophies and are given to winning owners after the final has concluded.
