How to get here:
From the North:
Take the A68 from Dalkeith, once past Oxton, turn off onto the A697 and head for Greenlaw. Follow this road and you will arrive in Coldstream.

From the South:
Follow the A1 until you reach the A697 turn off (just after Morpeth). Follow this road through Longframlington, Powburn, Wooler, Milfield and Cornhill. When you reach the roundabout at Cornhill turn left and follow the road for two miles, you will then cross Coldstream Bridge and the English/Scottish border, into the town itself.

From the East:
Take the A698 at East Ord roundabout (on A1 near Berwick). Follow the road for approximately twenty minutes to Cornhill. Take signpost for Coldstream (A697) and follow the road to Coldstream (less that two miles from Cornhill).

From the West:
Once on the A68 take the A699 from St. Boswells to Kelso. Follow this road through Kelso and onto Coldstream (passing a cricket pitch and graveyard on your left). Join the A697 on the outskirts of Coldstream - this will take you into the town within minutes.

Once in Coldstream
Turn off onto the road next to Western Mercedes (Guards Road), follow this round and take the next left (Duns Road). Turn right at Universal Fibre Optics (Home Place) - Home Park is straight ahead with parking near to the ground.

The picturesque Home Park is set among the beautiful and scenic surroundings of the Scottish Borders, with the Cheviot Hills forming an impressive backdrop for the football spectacle held there on a Saturday afternoon. Located in the middle of the town, Home Park is a stones throw away from Coldstream's main street and just minutes from the English/Scottish Border, with the River Tweed, famous for its fishing, being the boundary between the two countries.

In 1991, Coldstream F.C. gained funding for a new clubhouse, changing rooms and the development of the playing surface at Home Park. The main pitch, found directly in front of the clubhouse, had new turf laid on top of a sand based foundation, to help with drainage. The bottom pitch closest to the church was levelled out as it was previously on a slope. There is another pitch on the site too, which has floodlight facilities, mainly used for weekly training sessions.

In the July of 1991, Ossie Ardiles, the then manager of Newcastle United brought a strong squad up to Home Park to officially open the new facilities. After a match full of excitement, the magpies finally ran out 0 - 1 winners - A brilliant and memorable day for all involved at the club.

Home Park has hosted many important games over the years, both in the East of Scotland league and in the Scottish Cup and with the locals cheering on the Streamers it has once again become a hard place to visit for opponents after a few disappointing seasons.
