The Kentucky venue has undergone major redevelopment in recent years.

A new floodlit playing pitch, complimented by the addition of a state-of-the-art clubhouse and adjoining spectator stand preceded the club’s hosting of the Comórtas Peile na Gaeltachta finals in 2015.

A new fitness room was launched in the spring of 2016.

Pearse Memorial Park was named as Donegal and Ulster Ground of the Year in 2015.

The new plans provide for the demolition of a part of the existing changing room building and the construction of a two-storey extension to consist of a gymnasium, a training room and associated site works.
