New Craven Park is the home of Hull Kingston Rovers RLFC, situated on Preston Road in Hull.

The club moved to the new ground in 1989 from the 'old' Craven Park which was sited on Holderness Road.

The first match was played against Trafford Borough packing in a full capacity 8,500 crowd to watch. Rovers convincingly started the new era, and in that season were crowned Division Two champions.

In 2006 the ground and pitch were substantially improved as the club sought a return to the top flight of British rugby league.

The stadium was the former home to Hull Vikings speedway team, but they were forced out when the ground was refurbished for use in the Super League. Hull Vikings now no longer exsist as a result.
