History

The club was formed in 1921 by local workmen in the Burry Port area and played its early years in the Llanelly and District League. [2] The club has used various grounds in Burry Port, including Wood Brook - Park Tywyn, Glan y Mor Comprehensive School, and Memorial Park. [2] The club is now known as Crown Park Suburbs and relocated in recent years to Crown Park in the Seaside area of Llanelli. [2]

The club has also been known as Garden Suburbs F.C. and was briefly known as Garden Suburbs Rangers during the 1990s. [3] The club competed in the Welsh Football League between the 1993–94 and 2003–04 seasons.[ citation needed ]

The club's centenary occurred during the 2020–21 season, but celebrations were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the 2021–22 season, a revised centenary book was published, which included extracts from the previous 75-year anniversary book by Dai Bowen. [2] Three centenary matches were also played, including one against a select Carmarthenshire League side. [4]
