Ferrybank Neighbourhood Park (Kilkenny CC)

One of the better parks on the Kilkenny side of Ferrybank, and the climbing ship alone makes it worth the trip — kids absolutely lose their minds for it. There’s a solid mix of equipment here: slides, swings, a zipline, and enough climbing to keep older kids busy while the little ones do their thing. The basketball court and outdoor gym mean adults aren’t just standing around watching, which is a nice touch. Walking paths loop around the whole area, so it works just as well for a casual stroll as it does for a proper play session. Parking on site keeps it stress-free.
