Stangmore Park
The pitch at Stangmore Park is not the one Dungannon Swifts played on for most of the ground's life. Until February 2022 it was grass; that month the club committed to a synthetic surface, and the bill came to £375,980 — £300,000 of it from FIFA, £50,000 from a Mid Ulster District Council grant, and £25,980 raised by the club itself. The first match under the floodlights on the new 4G surface followed in August 2022.
The ground exists because the club bought the land. Dungannon Swifts acquired the site from Courtaulds Ltd and opened Stangmore Park in 1975, and have been the tenants ever since. What went up first was a temporary wooden social club; the permanent clubhouse replaced it in 1982. No sponsor has ever attached its name to the place — it has been Stangmore Park throughout.
For a 2,000-capacity ground on Far Circular Road, it has taken on fixtures that belong elsewhere. On 24 May 2024 the fonaCAB Junior Cup final between Cleary Celtic and Enniskillen Rangers was moved here from Windsor Park in Belfast, after a dispute and a disqualification at an earlier round. On 2 October 2024 the ground hosted Euro 2025 qualifying at under-19 level, Northern Ireland's young women against Kosovo.
Not every occasion has gone to plan. One cup staging was delayed after supporters made off with beer bottles.
