Cantilever Park is underwent a series of renovations during the 2023/24 season to ensure that the ground complies with the National League North’s stadium requirements. Warrington Town were promoted from the Northern Premier League in 2023, which is step three of the non-league football pyramid.
At step two, clubs are required to create a segregated area for away supporters and have a minimum capacity of 3,000. The club were given a deadline of April 30 to get the ground improvements complete and Warrington passed the test.
A new seated stand was erected with toilet and food facilities for away fans while handrails have been installed in the existing terraces to boost the capacity.
The new stand at the Wash Lane end of the ground has 181 seats and room for a further 400 more in standing room. The facilities inside are good while the view of the pitch is spot on.
Before this season, seating and standing at Warrington were first come, first serve, so the away day experience has significantly changed with the recent renovations. The ground is easily accessible via public transport, and there are plenty of spaces to park near the ground in residential areas if fans choose to drive.

Warrington have been granted an extension for the upgrades to Cantilever Park needed to comply with National League North stadium regulations. The original deadline to complete the erection of a new 182-seat stand in the Wash Lane end for away fans was Friday, March 29.
However, this deadline has been extended to Tuesday, April 30, by the Football Association due to inclement weather, material shortages, and delays in grant funding. The handrails have been added around the ground to increase the minimum capacity of 3,000 required by the league.
