Facilities
editIn 1977 the club purchased an 11-acre (4.45-hectare) site from a local lad Chesty OKane fora tenner and developed it into what now known as Jim McGirr Park. The current spectator stand was built in the 1991. The next development was in 1999, when in September the new clubrooms were opened by County Chairman at the time, Cuthbert Donnelly M.B.E. The cost for the new building was approximately £220000. A second pitch was also leased to the club from Omagh District Council for 999 years. The main playing field was the next phase of development, which saw a sand and velvet carpet pitch being laid and grass seeds sown in October 2005. This also saw a 5 m (14 ft)-high perimeter fence erection; and goal post, bald-stops and a turnstyle being built.
In 2022 a large scale redevelopment of the club's facilities was undertaken in cooperation with DHLP. This included: the building of a state of the art community gym, redevelopment of the training pitch and the creation of a walkway surrounding the playing pitches.
In 2023, improvements were made to the car park and the spectators stand.
