Quibell Park Stadium, Athletics stadium in Scunthorpe, United Kingdom.
Quibell Park Stadium is a sports facility in Scunthorpe featuring an eight-lane synthetic running track, a velodrome, and designated spaces for field events. The venue also accommodates American football competitions and includes complete training and event infrastructure.
The stadium opened in 1965, following the establishment of the adjoining showground and park in 1949 by the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. This foundation marked the site's development as a centre for sports and public events.
The stadium carries the name of David Quibell, a prominent Labour politician who became the first Baron Quibell of Scunthorpe. This naming reflects his deep connection to the town and his role in local public life.
The facility provides changing rooms, toilets, a kitchen, a club room, and parking for around 100 vehicles. Visitors with disabilities will find accessible facilities and convenient access throughout the venue.
Between 1971 and 1978, the stadium hosted speedway racing events featuring the local Scunthorpe Saints team. The team later relocated to other venues in the region.
