Bargoed Park
Bargoed, United Kingdom
The ground sits on Moorland Road. The capacity is a matter of interpretation. The Wikipedia infobox for Bargoed RFC lists 1,500 seated and 2,500 standing, implying a total of 4,000, while the "List of stadiums in Wales by capacity" cites a total capacity of 2,500. The standing capacity alone is 2,500. The exact year the ground opened and the identity of its builder are not recorded in available sources, though the last piece of land for the public park was added in 1960.
The club, founded in 1882, previously had a football team, AFC Bargoed, which also played at the venue. The park is a community facility managed by the Caerphilly County Borough Council, which transferred the ground to the club. The venue has no official former names; "Moorland Road" refers to the street address, not a previous stadium name. Notable events include a fire set by vandals to a new stand on February 22, 2017, which the club had recently upgraded to meet Welsh Rugby Union Premiership standards; the stand was rebuilt. A match against Ebbw Vale RFC was abandoned in April 2018 due to a spectator's illness. In March 2024, Bargoed RFC hosted Bedwas RFC in a WRU Challenge Cup semi-final, winning 34–8. The official attendance record for the venue has not been found.
