Tullow playground and skate park

Sitting right alongside the river, this spot in Tullow punches well above its weight for a town park. You’ve got swings for the kids, a decent skate park for older ones, and exercise machines if you fancy actually breaking a sweat. Everything’s on one level, so it’s genuinely easy to get around with a buggy or wheelchair — no awkward steps or slopes to negotiate. It’s kept in good nick too, which isn’t always a given, and the water nearby gives it a calm feel that makes it worth lingering in on a fine day.
