The first bicycle racing at Westmarch was on 28th July 1883 at the amateur athletic sports meeting to celebrate the opening of St Mirren's new ground. The morning of the meeting was very wet, but by the afternoon, the rain had cleared and around 3,000 watched the racing. As well as running events, there were one, two and five miles bicycle handicap races. J McQuater won the five miles race after second placed man DW Laing fell on the rough track surface. Time 21 min 14 sec. The cinder track was used for both running and bicycle races and the runners cut up the track surface. The Field magazine was critical of the track, commenting "Its loose surface is a fault which time will remedy, but it is different with the narrow straight and awkward turns, which will have to be re-modelled."
The St Mirren sports club introduced a spring meeting on 19th April 1884 with five bicycle handicap races and two running events. The track had been improved through the winter and the racing at the meeting was a great success, but the attendance was lower than expected and resulted in a financial loss for the club. The five miles handicap race was won by Glasgow University rider JF Fergus in 16 min 21 sec.
St Mirren annual summer sports on 26th July 1884 included three bicycle races and tandem event over two miles. The meeting had become one of the main athletic events in Western Scotland and attracted over six thousand people. The Craigielee Football Club and Paisley Amateur Bicycle Club held their first joint sports at Westmarch on 20th September 1884, there were three bicycle races and a two miles tandem tricycle race, but unfortunately the attendance was poor again and the meeting lost money.
St Mirren held their spring and summer sports in 1887 and the summer meeting was attended by of five thousand people. Local man WL Kirkwood was the hero of the meeting, winning the two miles race in a thrilling finish. The club continued to hold their spring and summer meetings until 1894.
The last bicycle racing at Westmarch was on 24th June 1894 and shortly after, St Mirren left Westmarch and moved to Love Street, after the landlord doubled their rent. They tried to buy Shortroods, where they had played in 1878, but eventually moved to Love Street with a ten year lease.
After St Mirren left Westmarch, the ground was extended and a large trotting track was formed, which came into use in late 1894. The ground was bought by the Caledonian Railway Company around 1900 and a railway line was built there. The ground is now a small grass field and is just a couple of hundred metres from St Mirren's current football ground.
