Parc y Scarlets is a purpose-built rugby stadium in Llanelli, Wales, serving as the home ground of the regional team the Scarlets. It opened in 2008 and functions as a primary venue for professional rugby in the area.

The venue offers a single main grass pitch surrounded by covered stands with seating for spectators and corporate facilities. Matchdays feature full ticketing operations, concessions and club retail, and the stadium hosts regional matches and occasional community events.

The stadium was developed to replace Stradey Park and consolidate regional rugby fixtures into a modern facility; it began hosting competitive matches from 2008. The site has since been used continuously by the Scarlets and by local rugby organizations for home fixtures.

The ground sits on the outskirts of Llanelli in Carmarthenshire, within walking distance of the town centre and local transport links. Swansea lies to the west of Llanelli, with the stadium accessible by road from surrounding towns.

  • Capacity: about 14,870 seats.
