Markiewicz 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 Georgine, Countess Markiewicz, one of the participants of the 1916 Easter Rising and the first woman elected to Dáil Éireann. The ground has a capacity of 15,000.
In July 2003, popband Westlife, who originated in Sligo Town played a homecoming gig at Markiewicz Park.[1]
