Newmarket GAA Unveils Seán Browne Walkway

Newmarket GAA Club celebrated a major milestone with the inauguration of the Seán Browne Walkway within its club premises. This 800-meter walkway, which was partly funded by the LEADER and Clár grant, encircling two playing pitches and astro turf, offers a wonderful recreational space for the local community, allowing residents to enjoy a leisurely stroll or brisk walk while taking in the picturesque surroundings.

Designed with safety in mind, the walkway is accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re pushing a stroller, using a wheelchair, or simply enjoying a walk, the Seán Browne Walkway welcomes everyone.

The walkway is named in memory of Seán Browne, a remarkable individual who contributed immensely to Newmarket - he was the dealer principal at Newmarket Motors and a former treasurer of the Newmarket Community Development Association. Seán was not only a dedicated family man but also a successful businessperson and a pillar of the community in Newmarket. His untimely passing in 2020 left a void, but the Seán Browne Walkway stands as a fitting tribute to his legacy.

The official opening ceremony took place recently, with locals, club members, and Seán Browne’s family in attendance. The community came together to honor Seán’s memory and celebrate this valuable addition to Newmarket GAA Club.

Newmarket GAA Club looks forward to seeing families, athletes, and nature enthusiasts make the most of this wonderful amenity.
