Cathkin Park football ground is situated to the S of Myrtle Park and 445m N of Hampden Park (NS56SE 110).

All that survives of the ground is the terracing on three sides, the grandstand having been removed.

Cathkin Park was the home of Third Lanark Football Club who went out of business in 1960's. The ground was previously known as Hampden Park (the second of three grounds to bear this name) before Queen's Park sold it to Third Lanark and moved to a new stadium of the same name now situated to the S. Cathkin Park is currently owned by Glasgow City Council and the area is in use as a public park, the football pitch being still in use.

The grandstand was situated on the N side of the ground and is depicted on the Provisional Edition of the OS 25-inch map (Lanarkshire, 1940, sheet xiii).
