Vul. Stryiska, 133 – Lviv horse racetrack

The first hippodrome in Lviv was built near the Yaniv toll house in ca. 1840s (Orłowicz, 1925, 10). The horseraces had been taking place in the city since 1843. In the early 20^th c., there was a track for horserace near Persenkivka, it was named after Jurjewicz. The old cycling track of Lviv Cycling Society was also used for horserace; which was built in 1906 according to the design by an architect Jan Stoberski (DALO 2/4/1265:24). In Soviet times, the old hippodrome was joined to the territory of the "Dynamo" stadium. Later, it became part of the area of Lviv Bus Factory. In 1968, it was liquidated due to expansion of the plant.

A new hippodrome in Lviv was built in 1977 at vul. Stryiska, 133. It functioned as a branch of Moscow hippodrome. Unlike the hippodrome in Moscow, the Lviv hippodrome had a grass cover, not a base coat. Here, race horses were trained for international shows. In the early 1990s, Ukrainian horse breeding decayed, and Lviv hippodrome became dilapidated.

However, in 2001, due to the visit of Pope John Paul ІІ hosted on the territory of the hippodrome, the facility was restored. In 2003, the race seasons resumed. Strong stud farms agreed to offer horses to Lviv hippodrome for contests. Since then, about 1000 horses have been contested at the hippodrome and many records set. Since 2008, annual all-Ukrainian horse shows have been held here.
