Our GAA Roots
Chicago Gaelic Park was founded by members of the GAA, so our roots in the Chicago GAA community are strong. GAA games were played in various public parks and football stadiums in the Chicagoland area until a permanent home for the Chicago GAA was established with the purchase of land that we know today as Chicago Gaelic Park.
Pride in Tradition
Passion for the Games
There are 7 full sized pitches that can be used for games and practices.
Gaelic games are the traditional sports played in Ireland. The two main Gaelic games are Gaelic Football & Hurling and both are played at Gaelic Park from the first Sunday in June until mid August.
History and tradition
The Gaelic Athletic Association of Chicago is steeped in history and tradition. Established over 125 years ago, Chicago GAA is a staple of the Irish community of the Greater Chicagoland area. With Chicago Gaelic Park as the epicenter of the Irish cultural activities in Chicago, the GAA clubs of Chicagoland have a permanent home in which to play Hurling, Gaelic Football and Camogie, and continue the traditions passed down through generations.
