Dolphin Park & Bushy Park

Dolphin Park is the club’s owned home ground. The club also extensively use Bushy Park for home matches. Dolphin Park originally belonged to Synge Street CBS but the club took over the ground on an 850 year lease in the early 2000s,[2] .

In 2018, the club submitted plans to redevelop part of the grounds in order to generate funding to build a new, modern, two-storey clubhouse,

floodlighting , all weather surfaces etc.[2] The plans were initially rejected, in part because of a local campaign to maintain access to ever decreasing green spaces in the south inner city.[3]

In November 2019, the plans were eventually approved on appeal and then following a judicial review the plans were finally ceased .[4]New plans were submitted for a sporting only development in November 2022.
