Mourneview Park, Lurgan

Mourneview Park is located in the town of Lurgan, a picturesque and welcoming town located just off the shores of Lough Neagh, in the County of Armagh, Northern Ireland.

It is the home of Glenavon Football Club, the foremost Football Club in Ireland, and is well worth a visit as the best Football (Soccer) Ground to be found in Ireland.

Marvel at the large Floodlights, which when lit, illuminate not only Mourneview Park itself, but also large areas of County Armagh. The Floodlights can be seen from Coleraine, in County Londonderry, on a clear day.

It is also recommended that you visit the Crescent End. From this vantage point, you can admire the construction of the Cantilevered Stands, architecturally and aesthetically wonderful. Many will note particularly the pleasing aspect of the yellow paint on the steps, which compliments the blue of the seats and the grey of the concrete, to great effect. The poet Seamus Heaney was so moved by this that he composed: "Colour; or the vision of Mourneview".

The Crescent End is a welcoming place and you will almost certainly be invited to consume the local favourite drink of 'Buckfast'. Buckfast is a high quality tonic wine and is highly recommended.

Mourneview Park is a heritage site that has integrated into the national consciousness of Northern Ireland, in the same way as, for example, the Tower of London, The Eiffel Tower, and the Brandenburg Gate in other states of Europe. You should not consider coming to Northern Ireland and not visiting this place, which should be a 'Must See' for everyone.
