Punters and pooches have got their first look at the refurbished Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium.
The stadium owners said the £400,000 rebuilding project had improved its restaurant and trackside facilities.
The revamped stadium saw its first race on Friday. Its 3,100 capacity stand now includes a 240-seat restaurant and an extra bar.
General manager Keith Hallinan said: “The improved stand will have a much more modern feel about it while losing none of the charm of greyhound racing - people are still close to the action.
"We’re confident that our customers will thoroughly enjoy the new facilities and Wimbledon experience.”
