The ground is situated at the end of Pole Lane which leads down from the centre of Unsworth Village. It is bordered by the M66 but there is no exit from this. This is the new ground of Unsworth CC built in 2002/2003 after the sale of the old pitch to a property developer. The new ground is much larger and it is possible to extend the boundaries to test playing size. the club have already played host to two separate Lancashire 2nd XI games with another planned for this year. The low rise pavilion hosts a function room with capacity for 120 and a member's bar.
