Description
Available in:
Ainslie Park is a football stadium located in Edinburgh, Scotland, which is the home ground of Scottish League Two club Spartans and the club's women's team in the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL). In addition, Edinburgh City shared the ground between 2017 and 2022 during the redevelopment of Meadowbank Stadium, and Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale also played there during the 2021–22 season. Another SWPL team, Hibernian, also previously played there from 2016 to 2021.
History
Spartans F.C. had previously played at City Park, in the Crewe Toll area of Edinburgh, until moving to Ainslie Park in November 2008.
In March 2017, Edinburgh City reached an agreement with Spartans to use Ainslie Park for three seasons while Meadowbank Stadium is being redeveloped. Edinburgh City announced they would return to Meadowbank in 2021, but this was delayed by ongoing works, and they stayed at Ainslie Park for the 2021–22 season.
Hibernian Women played at the stadium for several seasons until 2021, when they relocated to Almondvale Stadium in Livingston, West Lothian.
East of Scotland Football League club Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale moved all their men's first team matches to Ainslie Park for the 2021–22 season, due to problems with the pitch at their Saughton Enclosure ground.
