Estadio José Manuel Moreno is a football stadium in Merlo featuring a natural grass pitch and open stands that hold around 5,000 spectators. Located at the corner of Huergo and Ramallo near Parque San Martín, it regularly hosts football matches and local sporting events.
The ground began with only a perimeter fence, and the changing rooms stood behind what is now the away stand; two broadcast booths were later built above the new changing rooms. The first stand was raised along the Huergo street side after the club's 1976 promotion to the Primera C. A wooden away stand, then the platea and a wooden home stand followed, and in 2000 members built the current booths and concrete home stand. The away stand was rebuilt in concrete for 3,800 people, the local popular stand was reopened enlarged in 2013, and the Doctor Guillermo Tomas platea opened in 2017.
