The Brunswick Junction Oval is the home ground of the Roys fantasy football club. The venue name is a portmanteau of the real-life Fitzroy Football Club's previous two long-time home grounds, Brunswick Street Oval and Junction Oval.

The BJO, as it is lovingly known, is known for it's close atmosphere - it is one of the smallest arenas in the league, located closest to the CBD where real estate is at a premium. Features include the Sascha Hore-Lacy Stand, the Morton I. Cann Stand, and a set of 5 Corporate boxes on the northern wing. Facilities include numerous Chudshake vending stalls and a catheter insertion booth.

The Brunswick Junction Oval and its predecessor, the Brunswick Street Oval, was also home to the Mod Squad during its short league tenure.

Other grounds used by the Gorillas over their history include the Junction Oval, the Brunswick Street Oval and - for a couple of games as an alternative venue - Renown Park.
