Template:Infobox GAA ground Markievicz Park (Irish: Páirc Markiewicz) is the principal Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in County Sligo, Ireland, home to the Sligo football and hurling teams. Built in 1955, it is named after Sligo-born Constance Markiewicz, one of the participants of the 1916 Easter Rising and the first woman elected to Dáil Éireann and also the first female British MP.


In July 2003, popband Westlife, who originated in Sligo Town played a homecoming gig at Markiewicz Park.[1]
