Station Road is a football park located in Newbridge, County Kildare. It is home to Leinster Senior League outfit Newbridge Town F.C. and Eircom League Division One division side Kildare County F.C..
The ground was bought in the early 1980s by Newbridge Town F.C. The ground itself is located beside Newbridge train station and hence was christened Station Road. During the years Newbridge Town F.C. have developed Station Road and it now contains a sports hall, a clubhouse, training facilities, new all weather pitches, showers and dressing rooms. The founding of Kildare County in 2002 saw the erection of flood lights and the development of a 250 seater stand (250 seats and a corporate area for 70). Plans are also in place for the construction of a new 1,100 seater stand once funding is in place. A temporary uncovered seater stand will be installed in 2007 until funds are secured for a permanent stand. A footbridge will also be constructed from the train station into Station Road.
