Club History: How Stoneywood Parkvale Began
Stoneywood Parkvale Football Club was formed in 2016. This happened when two local football clubs, F.C. Stoneywood and Parkvale, decided to merge. This merger brought together their histories and players.

In 2014, F.C. Stoneywood moved to a new ground at Market Street. Before that, they played at Polo Park. In their last season, 2015–16, the club finished at the bottom of the North Superleague.

Parkvale F.C.: A Long History
Parkvale F.C. was founded much earlier, in 1898. They started playing in the Kittybrewster area of Aberdeen at a place called Central Park. Later, they moved to Linksfield Stadium. They shared this stadium with other junior teams, Lewis United and Mugiemoss.
In 1994, Parkvale moved again to Findon Park. This was because the Linksfield Stadium was being redeveloped. Findon Park is located outside Portlethen, south of Aberdeen. The Parkvale F.C. Supporters Social Club is still located in Aberdeen city centre. In their final season (2015–16), Parkvale finished 6th in the North First Division (East).
