The ground is to close for a year as it undergoes a £1m scheme to upgrade the playing surface. The club championships and Ulster Club series will also be forced out of the venue later in the year. The Ulster Club SFC final was played at the ground last November. Healy Park is the only floodlit venue in the county capable of staging championship ties, although plans are in the pipeline to upgrade O’Neill Park in Dungannon. The closure of Healy Park for 12 months means it will not reopen until the spring of 2021, meaning Tyrone will not be able to host NFL games there next season.
