MacCumhaill Park (Irish: Páirc Sheáin Mhic Cumhaill) is a GAA stadium in Ballybofey, County Donegal, Ireland.
It is the home ground of the Seán MacCumhaills club and Donegal's Gaelic football and hurling teams.[citation needed]
The ground is named after Seán MacCumhaill and had a capacity of 13,000, but that was reduced to 12,250 after a safety audit report was released in February 2012.[2] Donegal GAA announced in November 2012 plans to restore the capacity to 18,000,[3] Work got underway in February 2013.[4] and the necessary works were completed by late March 2013.[5]
