Dolphin Park

Dolphin Park is the club’s home ground. It originally belonged to Synge Street CBS but the club took over the ground on an 850 year lease in the early 2000s,[2] with the assistance of the GAA.

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.[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.[4]
