A recent addition to the ground is the all-weather training area to the north, on the left of these photos.

The Astroturf surface is ideal for training and can be hired on an hourly basis.

Looking southwards from over the north beach. Since 197 last photographed the park they've also added floodlights; slender but powerful.

A closer look. In past times this was just a scruffy piece of grass.

The area marked in grey is destined to be a tarmac car park in the near future.

(That's a rough guess of the area, not an accurate representation.)

Looking a touch north of west (to the left) over the railway you can see the public pitches at Brodie Avenue.

On the horizon is the radio mast on Dundonald Hill with the village of Loans at the foot. Marr College is hiding in the trees.
