In any city or urban area, the space of parks is special. The association with aspects such as relaxation, fitness, personal memories, personal meanings, landscape appreciation, connection with nature, climate action, and general inspiration, is significant.
Presented below is a guide to the wonderful array of public and accessible parks and recreational spaces within the south east local electoral area of Cork City. The history presented has been researched over the past number of years.
Most interestingly and most unique is that all the parks have rich histories, quirky stories, curiosities, stunning landscapes and memories.
Enjoy!
