Douglas and District play their home games at Noble's Park in Douglas, using changing rooms 1 (home) and 2 (away), to the far left of the pavilion. Parking spaces are available at the rear of the pavilion and Grandstand, and are accessible from St. Ninian's Road.

From 14/8/10 to 16/10/10, Union Mills Football Club kindly allowed the club to play their home games at their Garey Mooar[10] pitch in Braddan. D&D moved from their former pitch on Springfield Road in Pulrose at the end of the 2009/2010 season. This was due to the demolition of the NSC changing room block.

Originally, the club played at Groves Road, just across from Springfield Road.
