Gairdín Féileacán agus Clós Súgartha

Right in the middle of Kinsale, this little spot is handy if you’re already doing a loop of the town with young ones in tow. There’s a climbing structure and slides to keep the under-6s busy, and the place is kept genuinely clean — not just “clean for a playground” clean. Parking right opposite makes the whole thing far less stressful than it could be. Benches mean you can actually sit down rather than hover, which parents of toddlers will appreciate more than most.
