The Charlie O'Donnell Sports Grounds is an association football (soccer) stadium located in Buncrana, County Donegal, Ireland.[1] It is the home ground of Cockhill Celtic F.C.[2]

The grounds were opened as St. Mary's Park in 2003 by Mary Coughlan TD.[3] The club grounds were renamed after longtime chairman Charlie O'Donnell in 2007. The club also has two astroturf pitches.[4]

In 2017 the grounds suffered flood damage; the club received €101,000 from a UEFA Natural Disaster Grant.[5]
