Meadow Park is a football ground in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, England. It is the home ground of Boreham Wood F.C. and Arsenal youth teams.[3] It is the former home ground of Arsenal W.F.C., who still play some matches there.[4]

Meadow Park is also the name of the public park which includes the football ground, as well as children's play areas, tennis courts, multi-sports courts, interactive play, a teen shelter, football pitches, open grassland and a wildflower meadow.[5][6]

History

[edit]

Boreham Wood moved to Meadow Park from Eldon Avenue in 1963.[7] A new main stand was built shortly afterwards. That was demolished in 1999 and replaced by a stand with a cantilevered roof.[7] A new West Stand was opened in 2014.[8] A new North Bank terrace was opened in 2019, sharing the name of one of the stands from Arsenal's traditional former home of Highbury.[9]

Record attendance

[edit]

The record attendance for the ground is 4,101, set in an FA Cup second round match against St Albans City on 6 December 2021.[10][11]
