Back in 2005, agreement was reached between the Hemeryck family who were developing extensive new housing in Jamestown and SOCC for the donation of a 7 acre field to SOCC and within that field provision was also made for the donation of the land that would comprise a 400mm 8 lane athletics track direct to Ratoath Athletics Club.

​

In the intervening years SOCC has facilitated the full scale development of this valuable space with the overall objective of increasing participation in physical activity by our community at large.

​​

Successive phases of development have seen the emergence of a truly impressive multi-sports campus, made even more significant by its co-location with the adjoining Ratoath College. Today the campus includes that original 400m grass athletics track, a new tartan area developed by Athletics for long jump, high jump, sprinting and conditioning, 6 tennis courts, 3 astro pitches, a rugby pitch and a new spectator viewing area. Additional land was also secured for the building of a new car park in 2017.
