Hotels near Home Park
Home Park was originally used by the now defunct Devonport Albion rugby team. Following a dispute with the owners Albion left and for three years the ground was not used. In 1901 the Argyle Athletic club obtained a lease on the ground and staged its first event, an athletics meeting, there on Whit Monday 1901. The possession of such a fine ground helped Plymouth Argyle gain entry to the Southern League in 1903 following exhibition matches against several of the countries leading professional sides.
The ground remained relatively unchanged until the 1990's when ambitious plans for re-development were announced. Although there were a lot of false starts and talk of a possible move to a different location in the city work commenced on the re-building of Home Park. An 18,500 capacity all-seater stadium, built in two stages on the site of the current ground, was planned. Phase 1 of the project, the redevelopment of the Devonport, Lyndhurst and Barn Park stands, was completed in February 2002. Phase 2 of the re-build, the new Grandstand, has been delayed amid rumours of revamped plans and financial difficulties. As of June 2007 the Mayflower terrace can no longer be used for standing as Argyle did not succeed in securing a government exemption from all-seater stadia rules. However, the board decided to install temporary seating on the terrace, to keep the capacity of the ground around the 20,000 mark. At the same time a new public address system was installed and improvements made to the floodlights on the Grandstand side of the ground, all suggesting that a start date for Phase 2 of the re-development has yet to be decided.
