It is one of the two homes of the Waterford Gaelic football and hurling teams, the other being Fraher Field in Dungarvan.

If one field gets a game, the other has to get the next one. Dungarvan was a nice field, but my personal preference was always Walsh Park, because I felt it had more of the feel of a fortress."
