This is a lovely park. The cork museum is in the grounds. There is a nice walk by the river, and a great playground with swings for children.

great to walk around this park and fantastic facilities for children. The musuem is not open on a Sunday but there is a great cafe along side to visit. The walk is lovely especially by the River Lee and the pond

Small park with a lovely walk by the river and a really nice museum. It has a childrens playground and a cafe. Nice place to chill and bring a picnic.

The Mardyke Walk is a very nice short stroll along the river Lee and a great break if you want to get away from Cork city centre for a while. Perfect combination with a round walk over the UCC campus

On a sunny morning when all the well tended flower beds are in bloom it is lovely to stroll through Fitzgerald Park .

The park was nice, but nothing special and I would probably skip this if you only have one day in the city.

We love walking in the park when we are in Cork. The beds had just been planted with tons of primroses when we were there this week. They will be beautiful in bloom. It is a great place to get some exercise close to city center.

This park is located very close to the city centre and is nicely spread out. When the weather permits, there are lovely walks and beautiful scenes here as the River Lee runs the length of one side of it. There's also a beautiful lake with an old but very aesthetically pleasing fountain in the centre of it. Great little playground... More
