Meadow Park
The ground belongs to two different owners at once: the land under it to Hertsmere Borough Council, the stadium itself to Борэм Вуд. The club arrived in 1963 from Eldon Avenue, built a main stand shortly after, and kept it standing until 1999, when it came down and was replaced by a cantilevered roof.
What separates Meadow Park from the other grounds at this level is who else uses it. Арсенал women moved in in 1998 and stayed for a long time; the Arsenal Under-23s and academy sides followed in 2013. That connection shows in the building — when the West Stand went up for about £600,000, the funding came from the Football Stadia Improvement Fund (£241,000), the council (£70,000), the club's own money, and a contribution from Arsenal. It opened on 18 July 2014 with 1,226 seats and a roof carried without supports. The North Bank terrace followed in 2019.
Even after the Arsenal women's team made the Эмирейтс its main home from 2024/25, some WSL and Champions League fixtures still come back here.
The record crowd — 4,101 — came on 6 December 2021, an FA Cup second round tie against Сент-Олбанс Сити that Boreham Wood won 4:0. The cup has produced better nights than that: Blackpool beaten 2:1 in 2017, Millwall 2:0 in 2021, AFC Bournemouth 1:0 in 2022. The 2018 National League play-off final was played here too, and lost 1:2 to Транмир Роверс.
The pitch is a Desso Grassmaster hybrid. The name above the gate has changed twice since 2023, following the sponsor.
