Bath City F.C. was formed in 1889. They played at the Belvior Ground in East Twerton up until the First World War. After the war they played at Lambridge, where Bath Rugby club now train, eventually moving to their current ground Twerton Park in 1932.

In the 1986-87 season and through the 1990's Bristol Rovers F.C. shared Twerton Park with Bath essentially paying rent with a 7-year lease. The fantastic thing for Bath City is that the ground needed to be brought up to league standards for Bristol Rovers to play their league games there, which The Pirates contributed £80,000 to, even a new pitch was partly paid for by the new tenants.

The small Family stand sits rather awkwardly next to the main stand. It was added in the early 1990's during the period Bristol Rovers were playing at the ground.
