De Montfort Park, Football stadium in Hinckley, England
De Montfort Park is a football stadium in Hinckley with a capacity of around 4,300 seats and features two spectator stands with covered and open seating areas. The facility includes nine soccer pitches of varying sizes and a floodlit artificial surface for intensive training and matches.
The stadium opened its doors on March 5, 2005, with a match against Stalybridge Celtic as the visiting team in front of over 2,000 spectators. This opening marked the beginning of operations as a home ground for local and regional football clubs.
The facility carries the name of Simon de Montfort, a medieval figure linked to the development of English parliamentary traditions. This naming choice reflects the local history and the area's connection to that historical legacy.
Access is available from Leicester Road, with the grounds offering adequate space for visitors to move about comfortably. The covered stand areas provide shelter during wet weather, while open viewing areas allow for comfortable viewing during sunny conditions.
The stadium hosted international Under-17 football matches in 2012, with teams from England, Italy, Turkey, and Portugal competing in a youth tournament. This event demonstrated the venue's role in hosting competitions beyond regular league play.
