Muirton Park, Football stadium in Perth, Scotland
Description
Muirton Park was a football stadium in Perth featuring an elevated main stand along Dunkeld Road with wooden seating. Three sides of the ground consisted of concrete terracing for standing spectators, creating ample capacity for supporters.
History
The stadium served as St Johnstone Football Club's home ground from Christmas Day 1924 until its closure in April 1989. This 65-year period made it a central part of the club's history and the city's sporting life.
Culture
The ground served as the gathering place for Perth's supporters over many decades, especially during matches against local rivals. Fans created a strong sense of belonging here, where they shared their passion for the club season after season.

The stadium sat next to Dunkeld Road and offered access via public transportation with regular tram service. Visitors could easily reach the ground using the local tram network that connected the area to other parts of Perth.
