The home of Dungannon Swifts. Although the Swifts haven't played anywhere else they have only owned the stadium since 1975 when they bought the land from Courtaulds Ltd.
1982 saw the replacement of the temporary social club with a brand new one opened by the great George Best and a friendly with Glentoran with the Swifts winning 2-1.
Floodlights followed with Manchester Untied and Liverpool reserves in a friendly match and later a new 300 seated stand.
Improvements are likely to follow with a new 500 seated stand possible as well as improvements to changing rooms.
View of the stand and the recently voted best pitch in the Irish League.

The Swifts have one of the best social clubs in the league also used as a local pub and is open every night with entertainment at least once a week. It is also used for other events such as wedding parties and dances.
Voted by all Irish League fans as the best burgers in the league on match day and if you’re at a game here be sure to try them with even triple cheeseburger served on occasions! You can also get chips and sometimes (usually in winter) soup.
Programme has continued to improve over the years and is prices at £2 and now a good read.
