Bellsdale Park is afootball ground inBeith, Scotland. It was the home ground ofBeith F.C. during their time in theScottish Football League, and is currently the home ground ofBeith Juniors.
Beith moved to Bellsdale Park in 1920, and a 280-seat stand was built on the northern side of the pitch later in the decade.[2] The club were elected into the new Third Division of the SFL in 1923, and the first SFL match at Bellsdale Park was played on 25 August 1923, a 1–0 win overRoyal Albert.[2]
The ground was twice used as a home ground by other clubs;Galston were forced to play a home match againstArthurlie at Bellsdale Park on 22 March 1924 (a 3–0 win for Arthurlie) after theirPortland Park ground was unavailable. Arthurlie subsequently played two home matches at Bellsdale Park in 1925 after theirDunterlie Park ground was closed due to crowd trouble; a 4–0 win overBroxburn United on 19 September and a 4–1 win overEast Stirlingshire on 3 October.[2]
