Douglas and District play their home games at Noble's Park in Douglas, using changing rooms 1 (home) and 2 (away), to the far left of the pavilion. Parking spaces are available at the rear of the pavilion and Grandstand, and are accessible from St. Ninian's Road.

Originally, the club played at Groves Road, just across from Springfield Road, Pulrose. They moved from there at the end of the 2009–10 season. This was due to the demolition of the NSC changing room block. From 14 August to 16 October 2010, Union Mills Football Club kindly allowed the club to play their home games at their Garey Mooar pitch in Braddan.

They played over half of their home matches at Groves Road for the 2020-21 season. They played their home matches at the Bowl for the 2021–22 season. They will be playing home matches at Groves Road for the 2022–23 season.
