Davagh Forest Play Park

Right in the heart of Davagh Forest, this play park sits beside the trails and the OM Dark Sky Park, so you’re genuinely out in nature rather than some tarmac carpark with a couple of swings bolted in. The accessible design means it works for kids who don’t always get a look-in at other spots, which is worth knowing before you make the trip. Honest truth — the setting does most of the heavy lifting, with forest all around and that real fresh air you just don’t get closer to town. Pack a flask, because once the kids are running between the trees and the play area, you’re not leaving anytime soon.
