Terryland Park (pronounced Ter-RYE-land) is a multi-use stadium in Galway, Republic of Ireland. It is currently used for association football matches and is the home ground of Galway United since 1977. The ground has also hosted international underage games. The stadium is owned by the Galway District football league. The ground hosts approximately 80 games over the course of the year, with between 25 to 30 of these fixtures affiliated to Galway United. The majority of the remaining games are by junior soccer. Terryland Park underwent redevelopment in 1993 and as a result Galway United played in Crowley Park which is the home of rugby side Galwegians, for a single season. The ground's current capacity is 3,500. Terryland Park received a €500,000 grant from the Irish Government in 2006. The money received went towards further development works in Terryland Park.
Currently a new 1,500 seater stand is being built raising Terryland Park's seated capacity to 2,900 and overall capacity to 5,000. The new stand will include a shop unit, turnstiles, medical examination and first-aid room, toilets, showers, dressing rooms, match delegates room, officials dressing room, new media and reception room, canteen with facilities for press conference, and a TV studio. A Camera platform is also being added to the existing stand and the flood lights are to be relocated.
