History

The ground has hosted Gaelic games since May 2, 1937 when the land was bought for £300.

During the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2006, the ground was used as a makeshift campsite for visitors to the town for the duration of the festival.

On 11 November 2008 the club confirmed that they had completed the purchase of 14.5 acres (59,000 m2) of land adjoining O'Donnell Park, which they intend to develop over the coming years into additional pitches for the club. [2]

Matches

  • On March 25, 2007, the ground hosted its first intercounty football match in three decades when Donegal beat Kerry by 1-15 to 0-13 in the Allianz Football League. There was a half hour delay after the Kerry team were unable to arrive on time due to fog at the airport. The match was broadcast live on TG4. [3] [4]
  • On April 13, 2008, the ground hosted its second intercounty football match. Derry beat Donegal 0-15 to 0-10 in the NFL Division 1 semi-final. [5] [6] [7]
