Meadow Park was a football ground in Dumbarton, Scotland. It was the home ground of Dumbarton Harp.
History
Dumbarton Harp played at Meadow Park from the foundation in 1894.[1] By World War I a pavilion had been built in the south-east corner of the ground.[1] In 1923 the club were elected into the Scottish Football League (SFL), and around the same time, a stand was erected on the western side of the pitch. The first SFL match played at Meadow Park was on 25 August 1923, when Harp lost 3–2 to Clackmannan.[1] The ground's probable record attendance of 3,000 was set later in the season for a Scottish Qualifying Cup match against Queen of the South in October 1923.[1]
Harp folded in 1925; their last league match at the ground was played on 25 January 1925, a 3–1 defeat to Dykehead in front of only 140 spectators, their lowest recorded attendance during their time in the SFL. Meadow Park remained in use as a football ground until 1950, when the pavilion and stand were demolished and it was left as an open playing field. The site is now an industrial unit used by Aggreko.
