Fairly basic ground, but in a lovely part of the world, on the edge of the little market town of Wimborne. Public transport to Wimborne is limited but it has bus connections to Bournemouth and Poole. The ground is signposted up a small lane next to the Victoria Hospital. There seemed to be plenty of parking.
The ground is open on two sides covered on the other two with limited seating. The pitch has a pronounced slope.
Clubhouse is accessible to all. Very decent burgers served from a barbecue.

Floodlights, a perimeter wall and new changing rooms were all constructed in 1981.[3] The clubhouse extension was built in 2001 and was opened by local footballing legend Alan Ball. One of the distinguishing features of the ground is a 30 ft vertically inflated character affectionately called Mr. Magpie; the phrase "The Maggies" is also the popular nickname of the club.
