History

Boreham Wood moved to Meadow Park from their previous ground at Eldon Avenue in 1963.[8] A new main stand was built shortly afterwards. That was demolished in 1999 and replaced by a stand with a cantilevered roof.[8] A new West Stand was opened in 2014.[9] A new North Bank terrace was opened in 2019, sharing the name of one of the stands from Arsenal's traditional former home of Highbury.[10]

The record attendance for the ground is 4,101, set in an FA Cup second round match against St Albans City on 6 December 2021.[11][12]
