| What's Stebonheath Park Like? |
|
Stebonheath Park is located one mile
to the North East of Llanelli town centre. It is
situated at the top of a hill, but even with its
prominent position, it can be easy to miss, as it is
partly hidden by surrounding houses. Entering the
ground on Penallt Road through the car park entrance
and social club side it soon becomes apparent that
external appearances can be deceptive. Rather than
being hemmed in by the housing estate, Stebonheath
Park actually feels rather spacious. This is
probably due to the oval shape that is formed by the
athletics track which surrounds the pitch. Unusually
the athletic is mostly only two lanes wide, with
only the social club side being separated from the
pitch by a four lane 100m sprint straight. |

| It
has been suggested the athletics club who currently
share the stadium may move to the purpose built
athletics ground next to Parc Y Scarlet rugby
ground. If this happens the club will have more
space for additional seating, perhaps temporary
stands behind both ends though this would only be
needed if the club was playing a big club in a
European fixture or if the ground was being
considered to regularly host Wales Under 21
international games. |
| Visiting Supporters |
| There is no segregation in
force for visiting supporters, so all spectator
areas are made available. |

| Where To Drink? |
|
There is a social club at the ground which admits away supporters. As the ground is in a suburban area there doesn’t seem to be much else on offer. The town centre is around a 10 minute walk away. |
