Bourne Park is a football ground in Sittingbourne, Kent, and currently hosts home games for Isthmian League sides Sittingbourne F.C. and their tenants Maidstone United.
The ground was built in 2002 after Sittingbourne moved out of their Central Park home. The "Brickies" had ran into fianancial problems and had to lease Central Park to a greyhound racing company to ensure the club survived. However, due to the racing how taking place at the stadium football could not be guaranteed. Sittingbourne agreed to move to their at the time training ground and built a stadium on the site. Since it creation it has slowly been built up on a low budget and now includes an elevated 200-seater stand, a club house and covered terracing. The ground currently has 'C Grading' which means it can host up to and including step 3 football in non-league matches.
