Set back off Hyndford Road and hidden behind houses, Moor Park has two terraced stands (one small, one big) next to each other at the halfway point of the pitch. The rest of the ground is surrounded by grass banking that varies on steepness and a couple of rows of stepped terracing (which both go the entire way around). A fair few cars park up at the top of the terracing on matchdays where it's less cold. You can get pies (excellent to my taste), chocolate, cans and bovrill at the pie stall, which is by the main gate.
