After a major reconstruction between 2007 and 2009, its two stands seat 3,090 spectators, with a roof over the western stand. The stadium has an artificial pitch surrounded by running tracks, an LCD scoreboard, and renovated press centre, changing rooms and auxiliary rooms.
The stadium was rebuilt in a major reconstruction between 2007 and 2009, after which its two stands held 3,090 spectators. The work added a roof over the western stand, an LCD scoreboard, and renovated press centre, changing rooms and utility rooms. The pitch was laid with artificial turf and ringed by running tracks. Before the reconstruction the ground had been used by the local FC Luninets, which later went defunct; in the mid-2000s Granit from neighbouring Mikashevichi took it over as its home ground.
The stadium's name comes from Polesye, the marshy woodland region spanning southern Belarus, northern Ukraine and eastern Poland. In Luninyets the ground is known in Belarusian as "Palesie" and in Russian as "Polesye". The pitch is surrounded by running tracks, so athletics also takes place alongside football matches.
The stadium is all-seater, with the west stand covered by a canopy and the pitch surrounded by running tracks. It sits in Luninets, and the home club Granit comes from Mikashevichi, so matchdays involve travel for its supporters. Check the fixture list before setting out.
Granit Mikashevichi, from the neighbouring town of Mikashevichi, took over the ground in the mid-2000s after the local club FC Luninets folded. The stadium's western stand is the only one fitted with a roof canopy, a detail visible from the pitch.
