Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:One source Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox stadium Douglas Park was a football stadium in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, the home ground of Hamilton Academical from 1888 to 1994.[1]

The stadium holds the record for Hamilton Academical's largest ever attendance, 28,690 people against Hearts in 1937.[1] Douglas Park also played host to Clyde between 1991 and 1994, as that club awaited the building of their new ground in Cumbernauld, Broadwood Stadium.[2]

Hamilton ceased playing first team matches at Douglas Park at the end of the 1993–94 season.[1] The club continued to use the stadium for reserve team matches until January 1995, as the sale of the ground was not completed until December 1994.[1] Douglas Park was then redeveloped as a Sainsbury's supermarket.[1] Turnstiles were sold to Falkirk and part of the main stand was sold to Auchinleck Talbot for £30,000.[1] The only part of the old ground that Hamilton Academical retained was the floodlights.[1] A new stadium, called New Douglas Park, was built immediately next to the old site.
