Eco Park is a proposed stadium in Gloucestershire, England. If constructed, the stadium will be the home ground of Forest Green Rovers. It is reputedly going to be the world's first timber stadium.
Architects, Zaha Hadid Architects were chosen in November 2016 following a design competition.[2]
The stadium was granted planning permission by Stroud District Council in December 2019 following amendments having initially been rejected in June 2019.[3]
The Eco Park stadium is estimated to cost £100m and does not yet have a target for completion.[4]
