In places Loch Park is a bit tatty, with a small, ramshackle covered enclosure down one side in a corner. However, an excellent set of changing rooms with a sponsors bar upstairs was recently completed, as well as a players lounge which doubles as a social club on matchdays. The ground is completely terraced elsewhere, although a new bench-seated stand (which will have a capacity of around 250) is currently is well under construction at the halfway point of the home side, by the home dugout. Across the road is the Glens Bar, a pub that has a link with the side, and served as the official social club until they built their own one. Social Club: There is a function room that I believe is open on matchdays. Otherwise it's the Glens Bar. |
