"Douglas Park was the old stadium of Hamilton Academical FC. The Club left the stadium in 1994 due to the ill-repair of the stadium and financial problems. The Accies then shared a stadium with other clubs until the completion of their new stadium New Douglas Park in 2001 located in Hamilton yards away from the site where their old stadium once stood."

Douglas Park was the home of Hamilton Academical since 1888. In this time the stadium was the site of turbulent times for the club including 19 trophies. The stadium was also home to the Accies' record 11-0 victory over Chryston in 1885 and their record defeat of 1-11 against Hibernian in 1965. The stadium also holds the record for Hamilton Academical's largest ever attendance of 28,690 people against Heart of Midlothian in 1937. Douglas Park also played host to Clyde for 3 years in the early 1990s as the club were awaiting the building of their new ground in Cumbernauld.
