Frankston Park is a regional Australian rules football ground located in Frankston, Victoria, in Australia.

Bryan Mace Grandstand

The grandstand at Frankston Park was the original grandstand from the first ever Australian Scout Jamboree in 1935, and was relocated to the ground shortly after.^[1] In 2005, Frankston City Council funded a A$1.2 million refurbishment of the grandstand.^[2] Following the latest refurbishment, it was renamed the "Bryan Mace Grandstand", in honour of the Frankston Football Club stalwart and general manager. The historic grandstand remained as a landmark at Frankston Park for 72 years, until it was destroyed by fire on 12 February 2008.^[3]
