Station Park, Football stadium in Forfar, Scotland
Station Park is a football stadium in Forfar, Scotland, with a covered main grandstand along the north side, covered terracing on the south, and open standing areas at each end. The ground is home to both the men's and women's teams of the local club.
The ground opened in 1888 and quickly became the center of local football life in Forfar. Its record attendance came in 1970 during a match against a top-flight Scottish club.
The western terrace, known as the 'Mert End' because of a nearby former cattle market, traditionally hosts visiting supporters on match days. This name is a reminder of how the surrounding area shaped the way fans gather at the ground.
The north grandstand offers seated places and the clearest view of the pitch, while the other sections have standing areas at different angles. The covered terraces on the south and north sides give shelter when the weather turns wet.
On match days the ground sells Forfar Bridies, a traditional Scottish meat pastry that is strongly tied to this part of Angus. The name is said to come from a local baker called Maggie Bridie, who is thought to have made them popular in Forfar during the 19th century.
