De Montfort Park was the first name given to a football stadium built off Leicester Road in Hinckley, Leicestershire. It was the home of Hinckley United, an English football club from the town, until it was dissolved in October 2013. The main stadium is now the home of Hinckley LRFC.
The main football stadium was renamed Leicester Road Stadium on 6 June 2013.
The site covers 22 acres (9 ha) and includes three full size pitches, two three-quarter size pitches, three half size pitches and a full size, all-weather floodlit 3G rubber crumb surface pitch. It is named in honour of Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester.
The flagship of the complex is the Leicester Road Stadium, a 4,329 capacity purpose-built football ground, comprising a gymnasium, sports injury clinic and a social club. The Stadium opened in March 2005 when Stalybridge Celtic were the first team to play Hinckley United on the ground, in front of a crowd of over 2000.[2]
