Great playground, trails with markings is very helpful, easy to spot some deers on the way. Most area accessible by buggy as well. River bank is beautiful but on the day there were lot of bird droppings in the water so didn’t seem swimmable.

Good for kids activity and nice to see deers!

Farran woods is just beautiful. Lovely playground for kids. Lovely walkway for everyone. Plenty parking. Has a little coffee stop for people also. Think that is only for the summer season. Toilets on site. No rubbish bins so people bring their own rubbish home and the place is spotless. Car park is 5 euro, contactless payment only. Kids loved the deer and the ducks. Plenty picnic tables when we went but could do with a few more for the Summer time when it gets very busy. Lovely day out with kids. And bring a picnic.

You need to pay 5€ for the parking , only coins. Nice wildlife park with loads of space for parking .can walk around the park, will be 3-5KM based on the route . Good for kids , can cool down your self.

A FIVER for parking? What an absolute joke! Plenty of nice woods and parks around Cork city and county area offer free parking for a much better experience - shame on people defending this price gouging in other reviews.

Nice park with some nice trails. It was pretty cool that they have an animal enclosure pathway that would could walk around and observe the deer close up. The lake that sits here is amazing. There are some lovely water front spots for you to enjoy a pic nice with friends or family.

It is a lovely walk among the trees and near the river Lee. A enclosure with a pond with ducks and swans. Deers graze on the grass in the enclosure.

Lovely place to go out for walk and clean air with your kids

A lovely walk, beautiful scenery. €5 to enter but they now have a card machine so you don't need coins.

Nice walks, facilities, very friendly coffee shop. Zip line adventure for the kids, duck and deer enclouse. It is paid parking though and didn't see price until leaving which I thought was odd. It was only about 5 euro, a sign going in qould be nice 👍

Gorgeous place for a walk with kids. Enclosure with deer, accessible footpaths for a buggy, gorgeous playground. The parking is €5 though so come prepared!

Farran Forest Park is a beautiful spot. They have a number of various walks. If your looking for a nice picnic spot you would find plenty around the park.

Great place for a day out the surroundings are beautiful. The trails vary from easy to hard which should suit everybody. I would recommend this park to anybody looking for a day out with the family or looking for a place to jog or walk a dog.

Beautiful woods with multiple walks including by the River Lee and plenty of places to have a picnic. Nice wildlife enclosure for deer on the walk and also a good playground for small kids with toilets nearby. There is also a coffee van near the carport that serves cakes and othere little tidbits as well. On a lucky day you may see a lot of rowers on the river as there is a massive rowing club near the water and competitions take place at regular times of the year. There is plenty of parking so that's not an issue but it does bother me that it is €5 to enter the woods and also because a very large portion of the woods has been taken over by zip-wires, absailing and just the most astronomical number of trees covered in huge amounts of equipment and bridges and wires from tree to tree with older kids climbing from one to the other. Very commercialized and those kids can be very noisy.

Beautiful nature, peace and relaxing

Really nice park not too far from Cork city. It's nice that you can pay for entry with card (5 euro), but I don't see why there is an entry fee to begin with, since the park itself is not that large. Regardless, it's still very much worth visiting.

A nice wood walk close to cork city in between ballincollig and macroom. Beautiful and quiet place. 5€(coins only)entry fee for cars. Enough parking space. Good place for family as there is a childern's play area and a wildlife enclosure with deers. Children would definitely like this place. Different walk ways so you can choose the walk you like. One that goes close to the Lee river is a good choice. You can see the country sides on the bank of the river.It is quiet relaxing to enjoy the view in a beautiful evening😍..with your loved ones. There is an adventure activity area but that is closed in the light of covid 19 circumstances.The national Rowing Centre is with in the woods park. There are dining areas in the park and public restrooms too.So enjoy a nice and peaceful walk in the woods with your loved ones.. Be safe guys..always keep safe distance and don't forget your masks😜😄😄

Beautiful circular walk in the forest with an excellent playground and an enclosure with deer

Very nice park, the only down side is that the parking is not free. €5 per car.

Really enjoyed this place today. 5e for a car to enter the car park. You need a card to swipe for same. No cash. Nice walks playground toilets and coffee hut. For the more adventurous, they have zip wires. Great fun.

Lovely place to visit near the Lee Valley rowing centre. Lovely walks and especially along river Bank. 5 euro at entry gate but can spend all day long having picnics, playing on green. Loosing *as very few bins, very few areas to place doggy poo and playground can be very crowded at peak times.

Such a very nice place Love views and wildlife about place. Kids were very happy to go here and a quite hidden surprise.

Bratiful place,the parking is 5 € and it worth for nice walk and meeting deers .
