In 2009, the grounds name was changed to David Farrington Park as a mark of respect to the local football stalwart who died in 2008.

The park had a build-up of organic matter and contaminants so the surface was holding water and was not draining away, affecting playability.

Mexteds used a planer to take 100mm off the playing surface in two 50mm passes, then re-levelled the sub-grade and installed new primary drainage in between the existing drain lines, and introduced a new 50mm layer of clean turf sand.

New creeping rye grass was sown following the drainage work, which is intended to have more stability and hold the profile together better.

There is one uncovered grandstand on the west side of the ground which can accommodate around 600 spectators, and a small hill in the north-west corner.
