Buckley Park is an association football ground on the Callan Road (N76), near Kilkenny, Ireland. The ground, originally owned by Kilkenny City AFC (formerly EMFA AFC), was initially called Tennypark, also stylised as 'Tenney Park'. Previously the home stadium of Kilkenny City AFC, it has also previously been used by Castlewarren Celtic. Buckley Park has previously hosted a number of junior international soccer games, and six Republic of Ireland under-21 national football team games.
The ground is named in honour of Marty Buckley, the first president of EMFA / Kilkenny City. He was a former player and administrator with Green Celtic F.C. He remained involved with EMFA / Kilkenny City until the 1980s, managing youth and junior teams within the club and acting as a trustee for the club until his death.
