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.

Architecture

The ground has one seated stand and a covered enclosure,. New black and white seats were added to the main stand, replacing the old blue seats which had come from Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow when it was last renovated. The floodlights that came from Inverness Thistle's Kingsmills ground were replaced to a higher standard during the ground's renovation in 2011, along with a new medical facility for first-aid treatment. During the SFA review the stands were also passed as structurally sound.
