Club story
A Lucan club built from the park
Visit Arthur Griffith Park FC online for the club’s joining route. Arthur Griffith Park FC is an FAI Quality Mark Approved amateur soccer club based in Lucan, County Dublin. Founded in 2010, it serves children, young people and adults in the local area.
The name is closely tied to the place where the club plays. Home games are held at Griffeen Valley Park on Esker Drive, with the clubhouse on Newcastle Road in Lucan. That gives Arthur Griffith Park FC a clear local identity: a community club rooted in the public pitches and neighbourhoods around Lucan.
Pathway
From academy football to adult teams
The club describes an academy for boys and girls from the age of four, followed by youth teams beginning at under 8 and continuing through adult football. It also welcomes over 35s players, giving a child starting out in football and adults returning to the game a place in the wider club.
Boys and girls are part of that pathway at academy level, alongside junior, senior and over 35s opportunities. Use the live team listings below for the current football entries, then ask the club about the right age group, training route and next step.
Player development
Small sided football through the full game
Arthur Griffith Park FC supports 4v4, 5v5, 7v7 and 9v9 football, followed by 11v11 formats for older age groups. Its Player Development Programme explains the move from small sided football towards the larger pitch, with age appropriate formats supporting touches, decision making and a gradual increase in team size.
Families can use that pathway as a guide while confirming the timetable for their child’s age group. Training, fixtures and team arrangements should be checked with the club and the relevant competition.
Club identity
An eagle, stars and a Lucan name
The Arthur Griffith Park FC badge is a circular black and white crest carrying the words Arthur Griffith Park Football Club, three stars, a white eagle, wheat branches and the year 2010. The eagle gives the mark a strong sense of movement, while the ringed design keeps the club name readable at small size on team and fixture cards.
Black and white give the crest a clean, distinctive look, with the eagle, wheat and stars tying the badge to the club’s Lucan identity.

Griffeen Valley Park and the clubhouse
Griffeen Valley Park on Esker Drive is the club’s named home match venue. The club’s location page gives the clubhouse address as Newcastle Road, Lucan, County Dublin, K78, Ireland. Those are related but different references: the clubhouse is the organisation’s base, while the pitch named for a particular fixture may be at Griffeen Valley Park or another listed venue.
The club also lists an SDCC pitch on Esker Drive, a college pitch, all weather pitches at Airlie Park and Willsbrook Park. Because the grounds have different entrances and surfaces, visitors should use the venue shown on the team’s fixture and allow for the possibility that a home match is not at the clubhouse itself.
Community and conduct
Participation with clear club policies
Arthur Griffith Park FC has a Code of Ethics, an AGP FC Code of Conduct, a transport policy and adverse weather guidance. Its membership terms describe the club as community oriented and refer to sportsmanship, skill development, respect and community spirit. Registration does not guarantee game time, and team selections are handled on merit, dedication and performance.
That gives families a clear picture of behaviour, participation and match day decisions before they join. The club also emphasises a fun and supportive environment for players of different ages and abilities.
