In the 1920s the Greyhound Racing Association acquired a plot of open moorland on Sloper Road opposite Ninian Park School and set about creating a purpose-built greyhound racing arena for the city.
The stadium opened to the public in 1928, officially called the Sloper Road Stadium, it was colloquially known as the Welsh White City Stadium.
In 1937, the GRA sold the venue for recreational use. Nowadays City Gardens.
