A pavilion was erected on the east side of the new ground, which was officially opened with a match between Arbroath United and Perthshire on 14 May 1887. In 1925, the club decided to add tennis courts and a putting course at Lochlands. In 1958, a decision was taken to build a new pavilion in the ground's southwest corner.
