Brunton Park, Sports venue in Carlisle, England
Brunton Park is a sports stadium in Carlisle with four stands that hold 18,202 spectators across both modern seating sections and traditional standing areas. The ground serves as the home venue for football and rugby league matches throughout the season.
The ground first opened on September 2, 1909, and underwent major rebuilding after a wooden grandstand fire in 1953. This reconstruction shaped much of the stadium's current layout and structure.
The Warwick Road End, with its distinctive triple-peaked roof, is where supporters gather to cheer during match days. This end of the ground functions as the main focal point for the local fan base during both football and rugby events.
Parking is available behind the CBS stand or on streets in nearby residential areas, though arriving early on match days helps secure a convenient spot. Local public transport links also provide access to the venue for those without a car.
The stadium maintains traditional standing terraces alongside modern seating, making it uncommon among larger football grounds in England for preserving this mixed setup. Fans can experience both classic and contemporary viewing options within the same venue.
