The club plays at the Rene Road Ground, the pitch facilities boast an all seated "WELCOME TO BOLEHALL SWIFTS STAND" and the "FOUNDED 1953 STAND" opposite the dressing rooms. Metal fencing, replaced roped off areas and season 2008/09 the Football Committee raised funds to concrete entrance and standing areas all around the ground.

These too have been vastly improved in recent seasons by the Foothall Club.
