Overview

Holm Park is located in the Holm End side of Moffat, near the New Moffat Academy. It is the home of Scottish Rugby Union side Moffat RFC. The ground contains the club's changing facilities and floodlit training and playing pitches.

History

The pitch was once the playing fields for one of the local private schools as was the field that the current schools playing fields are located. After the school closed the ground was used by the local cricket team until it ceased to exist leaving only the pavilion on the academy's side of the field as the only evidence of its former use. After that the grounds were used as farm land until the rugby club was formed in the mid-1990s.

Future

The club are currently looking to have the facilities improved by building onto the current pavilion structure creating additional changing rooms, Gym, physio room and function room.

The club are also looking into having a 3G or 4G Artificial turf laid replacing the existing grass surface, allowing all year training and playing at Holm Park and allow local football teams to use the pitch when available.
