New Anniesland was opened in 1902, following The Glasgow Academy's purchase of farmland adjacent to their existing sports ground, which they had occupied since 1883.
The original ground, subsequently called Old Anniesland, was then taken over by the University of Glasgow.
[2] A cricket pavilion, groundsman's house and small grandstand, designed by the Laird brothers, were built in 1908.
Although these structures no longer exist, the ground still features a small timber grandstand, backing onto Helensburgh Drive, which dates to 1958.
[2] The ground hosted fixtures during the 2004 IRB Under 21 Rugby World Cup, and was used as a training ground for international teams preparing for the Rugby Sevens at Ibrox during the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
