Following Albion's relegation to the National League 1 in 2015, the North stand of the rugby stadium which read "PARFC" in white seats, was demolished, and attendances dropped down to roughly 1,000 per match.[5] although attendances have risen to almost 3,000 in occasional games.[6] Albion have two marquee tents next to the East and South stands that they hire out as a venue for receptions.[7]

Since 1915, the site has been a recreation ground. Now it is run by Everyone Active and is home to a gym complex, which is built into the back of the West stand.[8] The rest of complex includes:[9]

• An Artificial turf football/hockey pitch
• Three grass football pitches
• One grass rugby pitch
• Athletics facilities
• Pétanque facilities
• A generic sports hall
• An exercise studio
