Muirton Park, Football stadium in Perth, Scotland
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.
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.
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.
The land was purchased for 294 pounds in 1924, a remarkably low price for establishing a major sports venue. After closure, the site was redeveloped into a supermarket that now occupies the location where thousands once gathered.
