Notes: Newtown Park was home to Bo'ness FC, who played in the Scottish League from 1921 to 1932, and subsequently Bo'ness Cadora, a pre-war Junior club. Bo'ness United took up residence at the ground when they were formed in 1945. There was a wooden stand at the ground, but it was dismantled in 2012 and a roof placed on the rooms beneath. A large enclosure is located opposite. There is concrete terracing behind the east goal and a grass embankment interspersed with a row of crush barriers behind the west goal.
The club joined the East of Scotland League in 2018 after many years in the East Juniors.
A 3G playing surface was laid and floodlights erected in 2019.
