Fitzgerald Park

Welcome to a new interactive blog we hope you will share with us your questions or your experiences ...

Located on the banks of the River Lee, in the city of Cork, we find Fitzgerald Park, one of the most beautiful corners of the city. This park takes its name from the former mayor of the city, Edward Fitzgerald, since 1901 and offers visitors the opportunity to take a beautiful walk along the river, escaping the daily hustle and bustle of the city.

Strolling through Fitzgerald Park we can enjoy a beautiful natural environment, among trees, flowers and its peculiar rose garden, contemplating the statues (made by the versatile artist Seamus Murphy) that dot the 18 hectares of its surface, topped in the center with a large fountain adorned with water lilies. The park also has an area adapted for children and a cafeteria where we can have a snack while enjoying the views of the river.

As if this were not enough, in the center of the park is the Cork Public Museum, one of the best places to learn about the history of the city, as well as the most influential characters of its past, as is the case of the famous activist Michael Collins.

• it is a good place to distract us and be with nature, would you enjoy a cup of tea here?
