Butts Playground

Right in the middle of Kilkenny, this is one of those spots that locals actually use rather than just walk past. The wheelchair-accessible setup means it’s genuinely usable for everyone, which isn’t something you can say about every playground around here. It’s handy for families who are already in town — easy to find, central, and a decent stop if the kids need to burn off some energy between exploring the city. The historical surroundings give it a bit of character too, with plenty nearby to keep adults interested while the little ones do their thing.
