Officially Ireland's busiest public forest in 2022 with over 200,000 visitors, this beautiful park is well worth a visit. Studded with lakes, the grounds feature extensive paths, but the biggest attractions are the 'Drumlin Giants' hidden throughout the grounds and the massive, fully accessible playground which is built along natural play principles. Oh yes - and the coffee and treats from the kiosk beside the car park which hit just the right spot after the Saturday morning Park Run!
