De Montfort Park, Football stadium in Hinckley, England
De Montfort Park is a football stadium in Hinckley, England, with two spectator stands that include both covered and open seating areas. The wider site also has several pitches of different sizes and a floodlit artificial surface.
The ground opened in March 2005 with a match against Stalybridge Celtic, attended by over 2,000 people. It became the home ground for local clubs and has hosted regional football ever since.
The ground takes its name from Simon de Montfort, a medieval figure associated with the origins of the English Parliament. This connection gives the place a sense of local pride that goes beyond the sport itself.
The ground is accessible from Leicester Road and can be reached by car or public transport. The covered stands offer shelter when the weather turns, while the open areas work well on dry days.
In 2012, the ground hosted an international Under-17 tournament featuring England, Italy, Turkey, and Portugal. For a stadium of its size in a small town, reaching that level of international competition was a rare achievement.
