Jackman Park is a football ground in Limerick, on the Lower Carey's Road, that is home to Limerick 37 F.C. It is regularly used by almost every grade of football in Limerick, from schoolboy to women's international games. The capacity is circa 8,000. The ground has no seats and has one small shed. It neighbours Limerick railway station which is clearly visible from the shed side
Crescent College owned the ground in the 1970's before moving out to Crescent College Comprehensive. During their ownership Old Crescent played there. It was know as Priory Park during this time. Floodlights were installed in 1989. West Ham United and Celtic have played at the venue.

[edit] Future
There has been much debate in recent times about the future of Jackman Park. Many would like to redevelopment of the ground while others feel it should be sold off as there is little space to develop. More recently Limerick 37 announced that plans were in place to build a seated stand at the Colbert Station side of the ground. This would probably be the most feasible option as there is little room elsewhere to construct a stand or terrace.
