Guy's Meadow is the home to Cumbernauld United. The stadium currently has a capacity of 2,500 which consists of mainly standing areas.

Facilities

The stadium has few facilities, however the Hat-Trix sports bar lies at one end of the park and two terraced stands are situated at either side of the pitch.[4] The facility also includes an impressive astro turf facility, mainly used to host five-a-side football. The stadium's record attendance was set when 2,200 people watched Cumbernauld play Pollok in 1983.

Since 2014, fellow SJFA club, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy have used the stadium as their home venue whilst they search for new home to replace the historic Adamslie Park, in which they played for almost 100 years.[5]
