Recreation Park

Recreation Park is a football stadium in Alloa, Scotland, featuring two seated stands positioned on opposite sides of the playing field. The venue has a total capacity of 3,100 spectators, with 919 of those spaces being covered seats in the two main stands.

The ground opened in 1895 and has remained central to football in Alloa ever since. Over the decades, it has hosted significant matches and become deeply woven into the town's sporting history.

The stadium serves as the home ground for Alloa Athletic Football Club, known as the Wasps, and holds deep roots in the local community's sporting identity. Match days bring residents together, creating a shared sense of belonging around the team and the place.

The ground sits within walking distance of the town's railway station, making it easy to reach by public transport. Parking options are available nearby for those arriving by car.

The exterior walls feature a distinctive surface treatment that incorporates small sea shells into the pebble-dash coating. This unusual construction technique gives the stadium a textured, maritime character that sets it apart.
