Newfield Park was afootball ground inJohnstone, Scotland.[1] It was the home ground ofJohnstone F.C. from 1894 until the club folded in 1927.
Johnstone moved to Newfield Park in 1894, a site located directly to the north ofNewfield railway station; the ground had previously been used by theJohnstone Harp club.[2] The facilities initially consisted of a pavilion at the eastern end of the ground, but by 1912 a stand had been erected on the southern side of the pitch and a new pavilion in the south-west corner of the ground.[3] In 1912 the club were admitted to Division Two of theScottish Football League, and the first SFL match was played at the ground on 24 August 1912, a 2–1 win overDumbarton. The pavilion was burned down in 1919.[4]
The probable record attendance of 7,000 was set for aScottish Cup second round match againstFalkirk on 27 January 1923, with the visitors winning 1–0. The club dropped out of the SFL when Division Three was disbanded at the end of the1925–26 season, with the final SFL match at Newfield Park being a 3–2 defeat toBrechin City on 10 April 1926.[3]
Although Johnstone folded the following year, the ground continued to be used until it was eventually demolished to make way for the A737 bypass.[3]
