Hyde Park was a football ground in the Springburn area of Glasgow, Scotland. It was the home ground of Northern throughout their existence.
Northern were established in 1874 and started playing at Hyde Park. The ground was located opposite the Neilson and Company Locomotive Works, and had few spectator facilities; [1] a pavilion in the south-west corner of the ground and some embankments along the southern side of the pitch. [2] The record attendance at the ground was probably 6,000, which was set for a Glasgow Cup second round match against Rangers on 12 October 1889, with the visitors winning 6–3. This was matched for another Glasgow Cup game against Celtic on 7 October 1893, with Celtic winning 3–2. [2]
In 1893 the club became a founder member of Scottish Football League Division Two, and the first SFL match was played at Hyde Park on 26 August 1893, with Clyde winning 3–1.
