I love's Fitzgerald!

Delimited by a quiet road and the river Lee, a 10 minutes walk from the center, the park often hosts fairs and events. It houses a small, artificial lake surrounded by benches and always populated by ducks, beautiful trees, well mowed lawns with flowers; a concert area, and two play areas for children. There's access to a civic museum - currently under renovation - and a small gallery usually showing contemporary art. There's also a nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

Beautiful, calm park, with decent amount of nature
