Parkvale F.C.
Founded in 1898, Parkvale's origins are in the Kittybrewster district of Aberdeen where the team played at Central Park. The club moved on to Linksfield Stadium which they shared with fellow Junior sides, Lewis United and Mugiemoss. With a planned redevelopment of this facility lessening the number of available pitches, Parkvale moved again in 1994 to Findon Park on the outskirts of Portlethen, seven miles South of Aberdeen. This ground was the original home of another Junior side Aberdeen Bon Accord, who themselves had moved to a purpose built ground in Old Aberdeen, less than two miles from Parkvale's original Kittybrewster home. To this day, the Parkvale F.C. Supporters Social Club is situated on King Street in Aberdeen city centre. In their final season, the club finished 6th in the 2015–16 North First Division (East).
