Duckburn Park was a football ground in Dunblane, Scotland. It was the home ground of Dunblane and Dunblane Rovers, and hosted a single Scottish Football League (SFL) match.

History

Prior to World War I, Duckburn Park was the home ground of Dunblane F.C.[1] Although the club folded during World War I, a new Junior club was formed after the war and used Duckburn Park.[2]

In 1921 the ground was used to host an SFL fixture, as crowd trouble at King's Park's home match against St Johnstone on 8 October 1921 led to the authorities closing King's Park's Forthbank Park for one match.[3] As a result, the match between King's Park and Vale of Leven on 5 November 1921 (a 2–2 draw) was switched to Dunblane's Duckburn Park.[4]

After the ground closed, the site was used for an industrial estate.[4]
