Buckley Park is a multi-purpose stadium on the Callan Road (N76), near Kilkenny, Ireland. Kilkenny City (formerly EMFA) purchased 5.7 acres (23,000 m2) of land from a local farmer for £16,000. The ground was originally called Tenney Park. Previously the home stadium of Kilkenny City A.F.C., it has also previously been used by Castlewarren Celtic. It is now the home stadium of club CK United. 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 / City. He was a former player and administrator with Green Celtic F.C. He remained involved with EMFA / City until the 1980s, managing youth and junior teams within the club and acting as a trustee for the club until his death.
