O'Kennedy Park (sometimes designated Kennedy Park)[1] is a GAA stadium in New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland. It is the main ground of Geraldine O'Hanrahan's Gaelic football and hurling teams and has also hosted inter-county fixtures.[2] It was named O'Kennedy Park in 1953 after Seán O'Kennedy and Gus O'Kennedy in recognition of their contributions to Wexford GAA.[3]

Its former name was Barrett's Park.[citation needed]
