The club's home ground is Watty Graham Park. It was opened in 1982 by then GAA President Paddy Buggy. The first game was an over-35s game, which was followed by an inter-county match between Derry and Armagh.Celtic Park in Derry City is officially recognised as Derry's main county ground, but Watty Graham Park has hosted a number of National League and Dr. McKenna Cup games.

The Watty Graham club evolved from the Pearse's club formed around 1933, when Fr Anthony Doherty among others arranged a South Derry league. The club reached the 1944 South Derry final and a few of their players represented Derry.
After the folding of the Pearse's club, Watty Graham's GAC Glen was officially formed in 1948. In the early 1950s it competed in a number of South Derry Finals and in 1953 they defeated St John's Mullan (a townland of Ballinderry) to win the South Derry Junior Championship. They won the same title six years later defeating The Loup in the final.
