Markievicz Park


Markievicz Park is the principal GAA stadium in County Sligo, Ireland, home to the Sligo Gaelic football and hurling teams. Built in 1955, it is named after Constance Markievicz, one of the participants of the 1916 Easter Rising, the first woman elected to Dáil Éireann and the first female British MP.
A ten-year project to redevelop Markievicz Park completed work in 2009 and cost €2.4 million. This raised the safe capacity from 10,500 to 18,558.
On 25 July 2003, Irish vocal pop band Westlife held a concert for their Unbreakable Tour, supporting their album Unbreakable - The Greatest Hits Vol. 1.
