A Guide for Visitors

Stark’s Park is the home of Raith Rovers, and is situated in the south of Kirkcaldy.

Stands

There are four stands at Stark’s Park:

    • The Turnbull Hutton (Main) Stand is the oldest, and sits in the south-east corner of the site. The Main Stand houses the administration offices and player facilities. On matchdays, it is used to house home support, as well as hospitality guests and directors of both clubs.

    • The Penman Family (South) Stand is one of the two larger stands, and houses the home support.

    • The Craiglea Timber Frames (North) Stand mirrors the South Stand directly opposite, and is normally used to house away support.

    • The SM Lighting (Railway) Stand runs down the length of the pitch, with some seating available towards the north end.

Access to all stands is via Pratt Street. The North and Railway Stands are accessible through the North entrance. The Turnbull Hutton and Penman Family Stands can be accessed via the south entrance (up the ramp).

 

Travelling to Stark’s Park

By Train: Kirkcaldy Railway Station is to the north of the stadium and within easy walking distance (approximately 1/2 mile). On leaving platform 2 into the main station car park, walk onto Whyte Melville Road down towards the Railway Bridge then turn right past Abbotshall Church and continue towards Beveridge Park Roundabout. Thereafter continue onto Abbotshall Road past Beveridge Park to Pratt Street.

By Car: From A92, leave the dual carriageway at the Kirkcaldy West junction, take the 3rd exit (signposted A910 Town Centre) and continue on that route to the roundabout at Kirkcaldy Railway Station. The train station car park is available for use and can be accessed from exit 2. There is additional but limited parking at Beveridge Park Car Park. To the south of the stadium, there is significant public and on street parking in and around the esplanade. If parking on local streets, fans are asked to park responsibly and be aware of some local restrictions. Depending on the anticipated crowd, Pratt Street may be closed to traffic at least 30 minutes prior to kick off.

By Coach: Supporters coaches can be accommodated in the Beveridge Park car park (40 spaces) and on the esplanade. There is no general drop off facility at the stadium due to restricted access. If bringing a coach, please contact the club in advance for advice. Patrons using public buses can exit Kirkcaldy Bus Station and make their way via the High Street to Links Street and thereafter arrive at Pratt Street South.
