Boundary Park is a football stadium in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England.[2] Its name originates from the fact that it lies at the northwestern extremity of Oldham, with Royton and Chadderton lying immediately north and west respectively.[3]

Boundary Park was originally known as the Athletic Ground when it was opened in 1896 for Oldham's first professional football club, Oldham County F.C.. When County folded in 1899, Pine Villa F.C. took over the ground and changed their name to Oldham Athletic.[4] Oldham Athletic A.F.C. have played their home games here since the stadium was opened. Oldham RLFC also play their home matches at the ground after leaving their traditional home, Watersheddings, in 1997 and moved to Boundary Park, although they move following disagreements between the boards d away from the ground between 2009 and 2023.
