St Colman's Park is a football stadium in Cobh, County Cork. It is home to Cobh Ramblers F.C. of the League of Ireland First Division. The stadium's capacity is 5,980.

  • The stadium was redeveloped during the mid-2000s. Construction on a new state of the art Changing facility and press office along with a new Chairman's office was completed in 2006 along with new floodlights and a 900-seater stand replacing the old shed. The east stand, too has seen improvement with 450 new seats being installed. Plans for a new 900 seater stand adjacent to the existing stand have temporarily been put on hold due to minor financial difficulties at the club.

    • A new slick surface was also added prior to the clubs admission to the Eircom/Airtricity League Premier Division in 2009. The stadium has hosted international underage games including games in the 1994 UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship qualifiers.

    Munster Schools Senior Cup games have also been staged at the stadium including the final which was won by local Cobh school, Coláiste Muire in 2010.
