Páirc Esler, Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in Newry, Northern Ireland.
The stadium encompasses multiple playing areas with modern facilities, accommodating 20,000 spectators for Gaelic football and hurling competitions throughout the year.
Initially named Pairc in nIuir, the stadium received its current name in honor of Fr. Hugh Esler, who promoted Gaelic football in Newry during the 1950s.
The stadium functions as a central hub for Down Gaelic football and hurling teams, contributing to the preservation of traditional Irish sports in Northern Ireland.
The venue features upgraded stands, floodlighting systems, and enhanced pitch conditions following extensive renovations completed in 2007.
