The new ground includes a "3G" artificial pitch and was financed in part by a grant of £1.55m from Sport Northern Ireland, with other funding provided by Magherafelt District Council, the Trustees of the Chichester Club, the Moyola Park club itself and several individuals. The total cost was almost £2m.[1]
Mill Meadow is also used by Wakehurst F.C.
Mill Meadow was also used to host the 2011–12 and 2012–13 Irish Intermediate Cup and Irish Junior Cup finals. In September 2012 the ground hosted 2 fixtures in a UEFA Under 17 Ladies' Mini Tournament – England v Israel and N.Ireland v Italy.
In February 2023, the ground was closed while the pitch underwent improvements. Moyola Park played at Fortwilliam Park, Tobermore, during this time.[2]
