Tolka Park

Páirc na Tulcha

Tolka Park is an association football stadium in the Drumcondra neighbourhood of north Dublin, long used as the home ground of Shelbourne FC and several other League of Ireland clubs. The ground is a compact four-sided stadium with two seated main stands along the touchlines and smaller stands/terraces behind each goal, set within a tight urban streetscape beside the River Tolka.

Still standing

As it stood in 2000

What Tolka Park looked like in its prime.

A compact rectangular football ground set tightly into terraced north Dublin streets, with two long single-tier stands along the touchlines and smaller covered stands behind each goal. Seating is plastic — bands of orange and blue are visible — with a shallow pitched metal roof over the main stand and cantilevered roofs over the ends. Floodlight pylons rise from the corners; red-painted outer walls and low spectator concourses sit close to neighbouring houses and a riverside embankment.
