History
Arthurlie moved to Dunterlie Park in 1906, naming it after their former ground, where they had been based since 1882.[1] Located next to the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Joint Railway line, the only spectator facility was a small open stand in front of the pavilion located in the southern corner of the pitch.[1] The first league match was played at the new Dunterlie Park on 25 August 1906, a 5–4 win over Vale of Leven.[1]
In 1919 the club moved to the current Dunterlie Park. Their final league match at the ground had been played early in World War I prior to the suspension of the Scottish Football League, a 5–3 win over Lochgelly United on 3 April 1915. The site was later used for industrial purposes, and is now part of Shanks Industrial Park.[1]
