Petershill Park is aleisure centre andfootball stadium located in theSpringburn suburb ofGlasgow, the largest city in Scotland. It has a third generation full-size outdoor football pitch, and hasfloodlights.
It is host to the men'sWest of Scotland Football League football sidesPetershill andCaledonian Locomotives. The women's football teamsGlasgow City andPartick Thistle Women also play their home games at the stadium. It is known locally asThe Peasy which is also the nickname of the Petershill club.
Petershill had spent most of their existence (since 1935) playing at the old Petershill Park.[1] In 2005, it was demolished and replaced with a modern structure that could also be used by the local community. This was also to be known as Petershill Park. The two grounds occupied the same general location but were on adjacent plots - the old ground was closer to Southloch Street (a section of boundary wall with the club crest still exists there) and had a north-south orientation of its playing field, while the new ground is east-west.[2]
The stadium can also hold up to 2,000 spectators, with one stand (known as the main stand) containing 500 seats. This stand is attached to the club building, containing a bar, a function room, gymnasium, dance studio and health suite. Opposite the main stand is two steps of terracing, with a business centre located next to the right side of the main stand. To the left of the main stand, is more terracing. The centre also has a full-size football pitch, plus a number of 5-a-side pitches.
Over the two spells thatGlasgow City have used the venue as a home ground, Petershill has played host toUEFA Women's Champions League football. Memorable matches have included a heavy defeat against German giantsTurbine Potsdam in2011 and a British clash withArsenal in the last 16 in2013.
After a spell at theExcelsior Stadium, City returned to Petershill in mid-2017 and their Last 32 Champions League tie vBIIK Kazygurt was shown on theBBC Sport website on what was a dramatic encounter which Glasgow Citywon 4–1 but lost out on away goals after the aggregate scoreline finished 4–4.
