The ground
The ground is named after Angus McCracken, who was the Club President when it was built. It was officially opened by Ald. G. B. Bainbridge in October 1937. In 1956 squash courts were built in addition to the clubhouse. In 1961 a cocktail bar was also added. A third squash court was added in 1974. The current clubhouse was opened on 18 December 1994 at the cost of £1 million. This included a fourth glass-back squash court, a new players bar and a functions bar. McCracken Park welcomes all to its clubhouse facilities - the Terrace Bar is open to non-members - with a great selection of drinks and great vista out over the pitches and nearby woodland. There are regular food night events which again are open to all - pre-booking required.References
