Lochgelly United moved to Recreation Park from Reids Park in 1894, leasing it from the Lochgelly Recreation Company. [1] A grandstand (possibly brought from Reids Park) was erected on the northern side of the pitch and there was an embankment in the south-western corner of the ground. [1] The club were elected to Division Two of the Scottish Football League in 1914, and their first SFL match at Recreation Park was played on 15 August 1914, a 4–0 defeat by local rivals Cowdenbeath.

The ground's record attendance of 10,000 was set for a Scottish Cup third-round game against Third Lanark on 21 February 1920. [1] The club left the SFL at the end of the 1925–26 season when Division Three was disbanded; the last SFL match at Recreation Park was on 24 April 1926, a 1–1 draw with Solway Star. [1]
Lochgelly United folded in 1928, but the ground continued to be used for football until 1934, when the site was used for housing. [1]
