The Roys' alternative ground Renown Park

Renown Park, based on a local football oval in a park of the same name in Adelaide, was utilised by the Roys FFC as an alternate home ground for a handful of matches in past Sweet FA seasons. These events would most usually be chosen for their low impact: practice games, preseason competition games or clashes with placeholder teams. While no further records can be found at this time, it is believed that there may have been more games at the venue during this period, specifically some against the Sin City Swamprats.

In later seasons, Renown Park came into favour once again, used for sporadic premiership season matches, most commonly associated with the competition's Heritage Round events.

Sensationally, the home team are yet to record a victory for premiership points at this alternate venue (as at end of Season 27).
