The NIFL Premiership club has unveiled details behind the key project, which will see a number of upgrades delivered to enhance the existing stadium.
Shamrock Park is currently classed as an all seater stadium and has held under age international games including Northern Ireland U21 & U23 fixtures along with women's international games. The stadium currently has two seated stands totalling 2,770 seats, a grass training pitch is situated at the Manor End of the ground with the far side of the stadium housing an older seated stand which is no longer in use. The current away stand situated at the Chalet end of the stadium was erected in 2004 while the current home stand was opened in 2008.

These new plans will see the old main home stand, which is currently not in use, replaced with a 1,046 seated stand and increasing the spectator seating at Shamrock Park to 3,814.
Other upgrades the replacement of the existing training pitch at the Manor end with a state of the art training facility contained within a dome structure, as well as the relocation of the grass pitch towards the current away stand.
The playing pitch will also be upgraded to a 3G surface, and a business/incubation and community space included within the new spectator stand.
Portadown FC's Shamrock Park was named after Sir Thomas Lipton's yachts named 'Shamrock' that raced in the America's Cup.
