Bothwell Road Park, also known as Hamilton Public Park, is a public park in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, which dates from 1894. It is located between the Hamilton West and Whitehill areas, around 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Hamilton town centre. The National Cycle Route 74 passes the front of the park, following Bothwell Road. The Hamilton cenotaph is located within the park, as well as a traditional bandstand, erected in 1912, which is a category C listed building. Two statues by Robert Forrest which were originally created for local estates, The Fall of Mazeppa (1834) and The Gentle Shepherd (1852), were placed in the park in 1926.

New Douglas Park

New Douglas Park, also known as The Hamilton Community Stadium for sponsorship reasons, is a football stadium in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, which serves as the home of Scottish League Two side Clyde, also formerly being home to Scottish League One side Hamilton Academical. It takes its name from Douglas Park, the Accies's former stadium which was located immediately to the south of the current site.

Douglas Park

Douglas Park was a football stadium in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, the home ground of Hamilton Academical from 1888 to 1994. The stadium holds the record for Hamilton Academical's largest ever attendance, 28,690 people against Hearts in 1937. Douglas Park also played host to Clyde between 1991 and 1994, as that club awaited the building of their new ground in Cumbernauld, Broadwood Stadium. Hamilton ceased playing first team matches at Douglas Park at the end of the 1993–94 season. The club continued to use the stadium for reserve team matches until January 1995, as the sale of the ground was not completed until December 1994. Douglas Park was then redeveloped as a Sainsbury's supermarket. Turnstiles were sold to Falkirk and part of the main stand was sold to Auchinleck Talbot for £30,000. The only part of the old ground that Hamilton Academical retained was the floodlights. A new stadium, called New Douglas Park, was built immediately next to the old site.
