Adamslie Park was a football ground in Kirkintilloch in the Central Lowlands of Scotland, which was the home ground of Scottish Junior Football Association club Kirkintilloch Rob Roy F.C. until 2014. It is located on Glasgow Road in the north-west of the town and has a capacity of 5,500 all standing. Whilst the facility is primarily used for football matches, it has often been the host of Highland Games in the past.
Adamslie Park was previously the home of another junior football club from the town, Kirkintilloch Harp, in the early 1900s. The ground's current tenants, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy have played their home games at Adamslie Park since 1926. It was officially opened by Provost John Shanks on 7 August of that year. The club played their home games at other grounds prior to Adamslie Park. In the 1878–79 season the club played at Smillies Pond, also known as Coxdale Park, before moving to a site in the Broadfield area until 1889. The club's last move before Adamslie Park was to Kelvinside Park, which hosted its home matches until 1926. Kirkintilloch Rob Roy's first match at the ground was versus Petershill which resulted in a loss for the home side. On 10 August 2014, Adamslie Park played host to its first competitive SWFL Second Division match with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy Ladies losing 3–0 to Dunfermline 2013.
The nearest railway station to the ground is Lenzie railway station, which is within a 40-minute walk of Adamslie Park. The station is located on the Croy Line between Glasgow Queen Street and Dunblane. Alternate trains terminate at Alloa.
