Allan Park is a football ground located in Cove, a suburb of Aberdeen. It is home to Cove Rangers F.C., who currently play in the Highland Football League. The ground has a capacity of 2300 spectators, with 200 on seats or benches.
Allan Park is named after a local farmer, who sold the club the land on which they built the ground in 1948.[1] As of September 2011, Cove Rangers are planning to sell Allan Park for housing and share in part of the New Aberdeen Stadium project with Aberdeen F.C..[1][2]
Its largest attendance was 2100 in the league playoff 2008–09 vs Deveronvale which they won 3-1 to lift the league title for the third year running.
