Dia duit,
I am trying to translate some street names in my area. The one I am having trouble with is Glenriver Park. My attempt is "Paírc Ghleann na hAbhann" but I think this is probably grammatically incorrect. I am very new to learning Irish so your help would be much appreciated

GRMA

Dia is Muire dhuit.

Maybe something like:
Páirc na hAbhann an Ghleanna

I'm just a learner, so wait for more fluent speakers to come along.

That would mean Riverglen Park - and the grammar would be fine.



You have two definite articles there, WFM. It should be Páirc Abhann an Ghleanna - Glenriver/Glen River Park

Steenson, are you aware of this site: http://www.logainm.ie ?

Was not aware of that site but I checked and it is not listed but thanks. Good to know it was ok grammatically. Shame about the ordering. Thanks for the quick responses guys

Ah, tá an ceart agat, a Errigail – go raibh maith agat!

Páirc Abhann an Ghleanna it is!

I'd say:

Páirc Abhainn an Ghleanna

Abhainn an Ghleanna = River of the Glen = GlenRiver.

Genitive phrases like this then form proper nouns which usually aren't inflected further*:
Páirc Abhainn an Ghleanna.

*However I know of several examples where they are, so Páirc Abhann an Ghleanna isn't wrong either, I'd just say it would be much less common.

Came across this for Glenavon Park - Páirc Ghleann Abhann - on Logainm.ie., although that would strictly mean Rivervalley Park.

hmmm … So, instead of using the dative form abhainn, it could be Páirc Abha an Ghleanna, right?

Oh yeah absolutely, it's just most people say Abhainn today (in the typical trend of the dative replacing the nominative), but you could certainly use Abha:

Páirc Abha an Ghleanna

It's fine grammatically by the way!
