Ewood Park, Football stadium in Blackburn, England
Ewood Park is a football stadium in Blackburn, England, with seating for over 31,000 spectators. The structure consists of four stands named after key figures in the club's history.
The ground opened in 1882 and became the permanent home of the local club from 1890. Major redevelopment during the 1990s changed its appearance significantly.
The name comes from the wooded grounds near the River Darwen during the 19th century. Visitors notice the traditional design of the stands, which preserves the character of a classic English football ground.
The nearest railway station lies less than a kilometer away and is reachable on foot. Parking areas surround the site but fill quickly on match days.
Activists tried to set fire to the main stand in 1913 to draw attention to women's voting rights. The attempt failed, but the incident remains noted in local history.
