Club Development Plan

Strand Celtic put a development plan in place for the development of the club's grounds at Strandhill Community Park in 2006 under the auspices of club chairman, Mick McEnroe. This was done in conjunction with the trustees of Strandhill Community Park and with the support of a range of other sporting groups in the area including Strandhill Tennis Club, Strandhill Warriors Festival and Strandhill National School.

The club is located at Strandhill Community Park since 1996. Dressing rooms were developed under the auspices of the late Joey Mullaney in August 1998. Joey Mullaney was one of the original founders of our club and a plaque in his honour is on the current dressing rooms.

The club has completed Phase I of the development polan with development of pitches at Strandhill Community park to provide two all weather high standard pitches. This work commenced in the summer of 2006 and the ground is expected to re-open for matches in the 2008 season.

In addition the club has recently completed Phase II of the development plan, the development of a new clubhouse and dressing rooms. This project started in 2008. The club are very grateful to all our local public representatives who supported the club in it’s fund raising ventures and in particular in securing a national lottery grant. The outstanding work on the clubhouse to fit it out has been granted funding by Leader and work is hoped to be completed before the end of June.

Phase III which is the development of an all weather surface has been granted lottery approval. The project is hoped to commence in June and completed by the end of June.

 

The club will have invested in the region of €750,000 in the club grounds when completed.

 

The club is also part of a community development programme which aims to develop the following facilities on the airport road in Strandhill:
 
  • Community centre
  • Meeting room
  • All weather training facility
  • Dressing rooms
  • Soccer pitch
  • Gaelic pitch

Sligo County Council have handed the land over to the community for development. Strand Celtic Football Club are represented on the community Development Group through chairman Mick McEnroe.
