Club Ground
St. John's home ground is
known as Corrigan Park.
The
ground was first opened in September 1926 and was
one of the first grounds to be owned by the G.A.A.
outside of Dublin.
It
was not, however, until 1953 that St. John's took
over the actual running of the park.

Corrigan
Park is an impressive setting and for many years
was the official County Antrim ground until Casement
Park was opened in 1953. An atmospheric venue at
which to play and watch matches, Corrigan Park is
particularly distinctive because of the hills and
stand that surround the pitch within the ground
itself. This provides for a more intimate and enclosed
feel.

Corrigan
Park has played host to many Ulster club, colleges
and inter-county fixtures in recent years and is
still regarded as County Antrim's second official
ground.
Corrigan
Park is arguably one of the premier grounds to be
found within the whole of Ireland.
