Facilities

Middletown's GAA pitch is called P.J. O'Neill Park, named after P.J. O'Neill who was prominent in the establishment of the club. A new pitch named Barret Field was opened beside it in 2009, to keep with the high demand of training space for Middletown's various teams and to encourage younger members' involvement in Gaelic games.[citation needed]
