Holland Park Playground

Honestly, this little spot in Holland Park is one of the better options in Cork if you’ve got a toddler in tow. The slides are well-suited to the younger crowd — we’re talking 18 months and up, so nothing too intimidating for small ones just finding their feet. Parents get a decent view of the whole area from the benches, which makes a difference when you’re not trying to hover every second. The setting is genuinely lovely too, so you won’t mind hanging around while the kids wear themselves out.
