Background
History
The ground was previously known as Harrow Park before 1920, and was the ground of the town's first senior football club, Wick Rovers. It was bought and given as a gift to the town of Wick by a businessman, Leicester Harmsworth, as a recreation park. Maintenance of the ground was primarily seen to by local football clubs who were responsible for building a perimeter wall. A pavilion was erected in 1925 and the changing rooms were saved from demolition in 1973 following the club's promise to keep it in a good state of repair.
