The ground was bought in the early 1980s by Newbridge Town F.C. The ground itself is located beside Newbridge railway station and hence was named Station Road. During the years Newbridge Town F.C. have developed Station Road and it now contains a sports hall, a clubhouse, training facilities, all-weather pitches, showers and dressing rooms.[ citation needed ]
The founding of Kildare County in 2002 saw the erection of floodlights and the development of a 250-seater stand (250 seats and a corporate area for 70). There were plans for the construction of a new 1,100-seat stand.[ citation needed ] However, two separate 300-seat uncovered stands were erected on the Milltown side of the ground in August 2008 instead. Further upgrade work including turnstiles, realigning and lengthening of the pitch to 95 metres as well as the erection of screen fencing at the rear of the town goals, additional security monitoring, the installation of lightning protection is also planned.
