Background
History
Páirc Esler is located in the Greenbank Industrial Estate in Newry, built on land adjacent to the Clanrye River. The area is marked on the 1846 Ordinance Survey map as "The Marsh" and was used for Gaelic games, association football and rugby from at least the late 19th century. The pitch was opened as a GAA facility in 1947. Officially called Páirc an Iúir, it was renamed Páirc Esler in 2007 after Archdeacon Hugh Esler, a Catholic priest and Ballynahinch native credited with reinvigorating interest in Gaelic football in Newry in the 1930s–50s, and with securing the grounds.
