Healy Park (Irish: Páirc Uí hEilí) is a Gaelic Athletic Association stadium in Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, with a capacity of approximately 25,000. It is the home of Omagh St. Enda's [1] and the Tyrone Gaelic football team and Hogan Stand magazine said the stadium "is now recognised as one of the premier GAA venues in the country."[1]
One side of the pitch has a all-seated covered stand with a capacity of 5,000.[2] It has now also been announced that the Tyrone County Board plans to install a second all-seated covered stand.[1][2]
