A short lived [[Greyhound racing in Ireland|greyhound racing]] track was opened in the village on 21 August 1929. The venture run by the Kingdom Greyhound Racing Club and only lasted until Wednesday 25 September 1929. The last race was the Ardfert Stake which was won by Captain Off, the even money favourite. The main reason for the closure was the fact that a larger track called [[Kingdom Greyhound Stadium|Oakview Park]] (to the south in Oakview Village) was due to open.<ref>{{cite book|last=Barnes|first=Julia|title=Daily Mirror Greyhound Fact File, page 409|year=1988|publisher=Ringpress Books|isbn=0-948955-15-5}}</ref>
