The Waterford Regional Sports Centre (or simply, the RSC) is part of Waterford Corporation's Municipal sporting facilities and home to Waterford United of the FAI League of Ireland [1].
Included on another site is an 18 hole pitch-and-putt course, an indoor hall, football pitches and tennis courts. The complex also has a Skateboard Park. The RSC comprises two stands. The Cork Road West Stand, built in 1996 has capacity of 1,275 seats In August 2007 construction on a new 1,760 seater stand began. The new Kilbarry side East Stand which holds 1,760 opened in May 2008 and brings seating capacity to 3,100. There are future plans to extend the West Stand to bring the overall seated capacity to near 5,000.
The RSC also contains a tartan athletics track which runs around the soccer pitch.
