Robert McCallion Memorial Park is a Gaelic football venue in Swinford, County Mayo. The home of Swinford GAA, it is named in honour of club member Robbie McCallion.[1][2] It was rededicated in honour of McCallion in 2012, following on from his death three years earlier. Dignitaries present on the day included Taoiseach Enda Kenny and the soon-to-be All-Ireland winning football manager Jim McGuinness of Donegal.[3]
