Right to Dream Park, historically known as Farum Park, is a football stadium in Farum, Denmark. It is the home ground of FC Nordsjælland and Hillerød Fodbold.{{cite web |url=https://bold.dk/fodbold/klubber/hilleroed/nyheder/hillerod-ma-flytte-hjemmekampe-til-farum-utrolig-trist |title=Hillerød må flytte hjemmekampe til Farum: Utrolig trist |language=da |access-date=2024-08-22}} The stadium has a capacity of 10,300 of which 9,800 are seated. Farum Park is the first stadium in the Danish Superliga with artificial turf, installed in 2012. The grass is from Limonta Sport - a leading company in the production and distribution of synthetic grass for sports. Farum Park is a modern stadium with LED-banners, a hotel with 35 rooms and a fitness center.
Farum Park was renamed Right to Dream Park in 2016 as a tribute to the club's partnership with Right to Dream Academy.{{cite web |url=http://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/right-to-dream-farum-park-renamed-right-to-dream-park-in-denmark-id4967295.html |title=Farum Park renamed Right to Dream Park in Denmark |access-date=2016-04-27 |language=en}}
