Fitzgerald's Park
Páirc Mhic Gearailt
A city park on the bank of the River Lee, with sculptures, a rose garden, and a duck pond surrounding the Cork Public Museum, plus a small weekend market.
Fitzgerald Park lies on the north bank of the River Lee, opposite University College Cork. It was once the site of the 1902 Cork International Exhibition and is now a leisure park for locals. The park has a rose garden, a duck pond, fountains, and several modern sculptures, along with the Cork Public Museum, which tells the story of Cork from prehistory to the present and is free to enter. Across the river, Daly's Bridge, a graceful suspension footbridge, is nicknamed the Wobbly Bridge. The park is open free of charge from about 8:30 until dusk, and the café gets lively in summer.
