Penydarren Park, Sports stadium in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales.
Penydarren Park is a football stadium in Merthyr Tydfil with a main pitch and stands positioned on elevated ground. The venue can hold up to 10,000 spectators during matches.
The ground was originally the site of Roman military camps before later becoming part of the Penydarren House estate during industrialisation. This layered past continues to shape the character of the location.
The ground has been home to Merthyr Town Football Club since 2011 and draws supporters from across the region. Match days bring the community together and shape the area's weekend atmosphere.
The stadium has basic facilities for players and spectators and is well served by public transport. Several bus routes connect the ground to different areas of Merthyr Tydfil.
From 1930 to 1960 greyhound racing took place here twice weekly, drawing large crowds to the ground. This former use remains vivid in the memories of older local residents.
