John Cain Memorial Park (also known as John Cain Memorial Reserve) in Thornbury is the current home ground of Northcote City.

Located next to the synthetic soccer pitches of the Darebin International Soccer Complex. the venue consists of a compact grandstand on the northern side of the ground with a social club space underneath, and grass hills around most of the rest of the venue.

Apart from games against Northcote City, South Melbourne also played home games at John Cain Memorial Park during the 2010 and 2011 seasons, while the re-configuration of Lakeside Stadium was taking place.

South Melbourne has also played early round Dockerty Cup and FFA Cup matches at the venue when designated as the home side and when Lakeside has been unavailable - these games were sometimes part of double-headers with an equivalent Northcote game.  

The venue has also hosted Hellenic Cup matches.

To date, the only team to have beaten South Melbourne at the venue is Northcote City itself.
