Since inception in late 1990, Adelaide's training and administrative facilities have been located at [[Football Park]] in [[West Lakes, South Australia|West Lakes]]. The club held their first training session at the ground on 29 October 1990.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://crowshistory.afc.com.au/adelaide-first-afl-training|title=Adelaide: first AFL training|work=Crows History}}</ref> Initially the club's offices were restricted to small space under the SANFL members' grandstand, before being moved to a new brick building at the southern end of the stadium in 1992. Between 1993 and 1995 a $2.3 million player and training facility was constructed behind the eastern grandstands, featuring several sports training facilities described at the time as “the best in the league”.<ref name=FacilitiesTimeline>{{cite web|url=https://crowshistory.afc.com.au/facilities-timeline|title=Facilities timeline|work=Crows History}}</ref> Additional offices were constructed at the northern end of the ground, and a $21 million renovation was concluded in 2009, which featured a 2500sq metre “Shed” for gatherings of fans and members, and upgrades to the indoor training and administrative facilities.<ref name=FacilitiesTimeline/> When Football Park stopped hosting premiership matches at the end of the 2013 season, the grandstands were progressively torn down and the club's game-day facilities were merged with the administration offices, whilst the general public were granted access to the oval outside of Crows' training sessions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-29/football-park-to-be-opened-to-the-dogs/9811334|title=Crows training sessions to need 'poo patrol' once Football Park is opened to the dogs|author=Malcolm Sutton|date=29 May 2018|work=ABC News}}</ref>

In 2024, following prolonged negotiations with the local council and SANFL, the Adelaide Football Club announced it would move its training and administrative headquarters to an upgraded [[Thebarton Oval]], which will feature a 150m, two-storey wrap-around building and upgraded grandstands and new facilities for the club's AFL, AFLW and SANFL teams.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afc.com.au/news/1605044/adelaide-unveils-final-design-of-new-facility|title=Adelaide unveils final design of new facility|work=Adelaide Football Club|date=24 June 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.afc.com.au/news/1590524/new-facility-update|title=New Facility Update|work=Adelaide Football Club|date=1 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indaily.com.au/news/2024/06/04/crows-win-planning-approval-for-100m-thebarton-move|work=In Daily|date=4 June 2024|title=Crows win planning approval for $100m Thebarton move|author=Thomas Kelsall}}</ref>
