Twerton Park is a multi-purpose stadium in the Twerton suburb of Bath, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Bath City. From 1986 to 1996 Bristol Rovers played there due to financial problems. The stadium has a capacity of 8,800 people, with 1,006 seats.
The ground was opened on 26 June 1909 as Innox Park on land that had been donated by Thomas Carr. The opening ceremony involved a parade of scholars, the singing of hymns and a speech by the chairman of the parish council.[2]
In the 2010 season, it saw Bath City beat Woking FC 1-0 in the Blue Square South Play Off Final, thanks to a penalty by Kaid Mohamed.
