    A lovely area that is well kept and accessible to all in the community. There is a playground and exercise machines. There are also well maintained paths and lovely seats. A new addition is a drinking water fountain which is very much welcome. Each Christmas they decorate the park and although all the lights aren't working, they are still beautiful

    A beautiful little park right in the heart of Douglas Village. A lovely, fairly short walk under gorgeous trees. Outdoor gym equipment available, almost brand new. A lovely playground, well looked after. A full sized caged basketball court or football court on tarmac suitable for all ages. The "dough hut" lives there, run by Lar and his lovely family giving all us locals our daily dose of caffeine and doughnuts, freshly cooked with irresistible smells wafting around the park. Open from 11am to 5pm most days. A must if u visit the park. The park is open 7 days, dawn to dusk. Well worth the visit

    Lovely park. Has a basket ball court and free gym equipment. It is small and has nice benches to sit on.

    Very nice place. Much better than when I was younger. Inclusive. Only thing I didn't like was the outdoor gym being used by kids.. Is not for kids.. you can grow your own plants, meditation, seen people practice boxing there. It's a real community park.

    We bring our toddler to the playground as much as we can. It is a very clean and beautiful place to visit, and enjoy the sun on Sprint and Summer.

    The park is happening and busy. It's a nice place if you want to walk around. There is a kids play area and a basketball court.

    Lovely park, great play area with swings/slides, zip line, seesaw etc. Great Donut Shack there to get refreshments also.

    Amenities and green-spaces in the Douglas area include Douglas Community Park (a new 5-acre park close to the centre of Douglas Village and it includes a playground and exercise facilities), and Ballybrack Woods (a wooded area south of Douglas village which is known locally as ‘Mangala’, ‘Mangola’, or ‘Mangla’. I first visited the Community Park in August 2021 and because of Covid-19 travel restrictions I was almost the only person there and I really did appreciate the peace and quiet. I visited again in May 2022 and it was obvious that it was very popular.

    Nice little park with a fun playground, exercise area and basketball court. Fab little coffee caravan. Planty places to sit down. During the weekend could be overcrowded.

    Great park with outdoor gym, playground, basketball court! It's very close to primary schools, cafe and shopping centre Tesco, Dunnes stores and Aldi. Great location in the middle of Douglas village also near restaurants and pubs.

    Great place for kids and good facilities. Cold when we were there, but can imagine it being a great place to hang out with families in the summer.
