Derby Lane Greyhound Racing has graced The Sunshine City for 95 years, and we hope locals and tourists will remember us fondly. We invite spectators to enjoy this pastime once more for our final races on December 26th and 27th. Although we will be ending racing, the Poker Room and Simulcasting areas will continue to operate for years to come.
Derby Lane is following all Covid orders from Pinellas County. Temperature checks are required before entry. Masks are required in all indoor areas when patrons are not actively eating or drinking, at betting windows, and at the concession stand. Masks are not required outdoors.
Admission and parking are free. We offer free valet for disabled customers at the Poker Room entrance. Children of all ages are welcome. Derby Lane racing programs are $1.25 at the door.
