History
Prior to World War I, Duckburn Park was the home ground of Dunblane F.C.[http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/examining-history-forgotten-football-team-5102401 Examining history of forgotten football team Dunblane FC] Daily Record, 4 February 2015 Although the club folded during World War I, a new Junior club was formed after the war and used Duckburn Park.[http://www.scottishsporthistory.com/sports-history-news-and-blog/well-played-dunblane-a-football-club-goes-to-war-in-1914 Well played Dunblane!

In 1921 the ground was used to host an SFL fixture, as crowd trouble at King's Park's home match against St Johnstone on 8 October 1921 led to the authorities closing King's Park's Forthbank Park for one match.Paul Smith & Shirley Smith (2005) The Ultimate Directory of English & Scottish Football League Grounds Second Edition 1888–2005, Yore Publications, p180 {{ISBN|0954783042}} As a result, the match between King's Park and Vale of Leven on 5 November 1921 (a 2–2 draw) was switched to Dunblane's Duckburn Park.Smith & Smith, p169
After the ground closed, the site was used for an industrial estate.
