McDiarmid Park, association football stadium in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, UK
McDiarmid Park is a football stadium in Perth, Scotland, and the home ground of St Johnstone FC. It has a capacity of around 10,000 seats and features covered stands on all four sides of the pitch.
The stadium opened in 1989, replacing Muirton Park as the home of St Johnstone FC. It was among the first grounds in Scotland built entirely for seated spectators, following updated safety standards after the Hillsborough disaster.
McDiarmid Park is home to St Johnstone FC, a club with a loyal following from Perth and the surrounding area. On match days, the stands fill with local supporters who have followed the club for generations.
The stadium sits on the northern edge of Perth and is easiest to reach by car, with parking available directly next to the ground. On match days, arriving early is a good idea as the car park fills up quickly before kick-off.
The stadium is named after Bruce McDiarmid, a local doctor who made a personal donation that helped fund the construction of the ground. Without his contribution, the move from the old ground might never have happened.
