North Dalton Park is located on Pioneer Rd, Towradgi, in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia.
The ground has a grandstand on the western side, where 430 plastic bucket seats were installed over the concrete steps in early 2017. The remainder of the ground is surrounded by a small hill which gives the ground an overall capacity of around 5,430. The LED scoreboard is at the northern end of the ground. From the eastern hill, the ground has views of the mountain backdrop.[citation needed] The ground was re-surfaced in 2007, and broadcast quality floodlights were installed.
The ground is home to the Wollongong Lions in the AFL South Coast competition and the Wollongong Lions Junior AFL Club. The venue is also the home of Cricket Illawarra.
An interstate Ford Ranger Cup match was scheduled there on Sunday 9 December 2007, but rain in the days leading up to the match led to the game being abandoned without a ball bowled.[citation needed]
