The venue is designed to be carbon-neutral in its operational intent through the use of sustainable energy technologies integrated into the roof.
Broadhurst Park is a purpose-built football stadium located in Moston, Manchester, serving as the home ground for FC United of Manchester. Opened in 2015, the stadium was primarily financed through a community share scheme, representing one of the largest fan-owned stadium projects in the United Kingdom. It features a capacity of approximately 4,400 spectators, including a mix of seating and standing terraces. The venue is built on the site of the former Ronald Johnson playing fields. The stadium complex includes a clubhouse, a function room, and facilities for community sports development. It adheres to a fan-led governance model, reflecting the club's origins as a supporter-founded breakaway from Manchester United. The pitch is situated within a wider public parkland area that remains accessible to the local community. It serves as a hub for both semi-professional league matches and local amateur sporting events.
