Carrickmacross Playground

Locals know this one is genuinely well looked after — the equipment is clean, nothing’s broken, and it actually stays that way. Younger kids have swings, slides, and a zipline to keep them busy, while the older ones tend to head straight for the skate park or shoot hoops on the basketball court. There’s a soccer field and open grass too, so if you’re bringing a mixed-age group, everyone finds something to do. Toilets on site and decent parking make it a lot less stressful for parents doing a longer visit.
