The ground
The ground is named after Angus McCracken, who was the Club President when it was built. It was officially opened by Ald. G. B. Bainbridge in October 1937. [2]
In 1956 squash courts were built in addition to the clubhouse. In 1961 a cocktail bar was also added. A third squash court was added in 1974. The current clubhouse was opened on 18 December 1994 at the cost of £1 million. This included a fourth glass-back squash court, a new players bar and a functions bar. [2]
McCracken Park welcomes all to its clubhouse facilities - the Terrace Bar is open to non-members - with a great selection of drinks and great vista out over the pitches and nearby woodland.
There are regular food night events which again are open to all - pre-booking required.
McCracen Park ground capacity was listed in 1990 as being 1,200 with 1,000 standing and 200 seated in a wooden grandstand. [3] The wooden grandstand has since ceased to exist, although it was mentioned as recently as 2010, meaning modern ground capacity is now just 1,000 (all standing). [4]
