Each day, thousands of motorists drive by Whitton Park, which is located on the north side of Arbroath Road (A92) at the point where the road widens to accommodate Claypotts junction to the immediate east of the ground. 

 

In addition to being a well known Junior football venue for over half a century, Whitton Park has for many years been the chosen location for the Dundee District Juvenile Cup Final, an event which attracts thousands of supporters from the competition’s various clubs. This neat arena, which can accommodate 2,500 people, is a very pleasant place to watch football on a nice day, but spectator facilities are basic. There are grassed, sloping embankments on all four sides and a refreshment bar is situated within the pavilion at the Arbroath Road end of the park but there is no cover or seating for onlookers in any part of the ground. There is limited car parking accommodation for around forty cars immediately in front of the main entrance on Arbroath Road but the surface of this small car park is very poor. 

 

The perimeter fence, mainly corrugated iron, is not sufficiently secure at some points due to its partially dilapidated condition and this has made Whitton Park a target of increased vandalism in recent times.Owned by Dundee City Council and leased by Broughty Athletic Football Club, the ground was formerly known as Claypotts Park. In 1989 it was re-named Whitton Park to commemorate Eddie Whitton, who served the Club with great distinction for forty-five years. 

 

The existing pavilion was built in the early 1980s and this accommodation comprises two changing rooms for players, a changing room for match officials, an office, a small kitchen and a lounge. Adjacent to the pavilion are two Portakabin-style relocatable buildings, which augment the original accommodation but these facilities are now well past their best. 

 

 

 

The ground also hosts Broughty Athletic's Soccer Sevens Festival, which takes place each summer. The Festival is aimed at 8 to 11 year olds and attracts participation by fifty teams from Tayside and Fife.
