    Galway's first skatepark. Unchallenging layout that's in need of a design makeover to better cater to the growing community of local skaters and daily visitors. Despite continuous feedback, user's demands for modern design changes were ignored by city council, better skateparks exist in smaller counties. #upgrademillenniumskatepark

    Great playground. Our kids love it. It has been enlarged with a sandpit, having 2 diggers and a water pump. Extremely busy today.

    Fenced in park near to the cathedral parking. Great park for kids. The floor is a soft foam, overall a safe place next to a busy road. Some interactive play things like the sand digger and the water pump which is unique and fun for kids. There is also free wifi if you can get on.

    Beautiful park to take the kids to. Clean, and well kept. Play ground is very nice with lots to do and see. Keep a few coins handy for the toilet available. Lots of historical places to see and visit around the park. Ducks in the little river. Close to shops like Tesco express.

    Fun place. They had a number of nice installations for small children. Our 15-month-old daughter loved the train!

    This playground is awesome! Right near the Galway Cathedral it was a great location! My son loved the different toys.

    My kids loved it here. My oldest is obsessed with trains, so the train at the playground was a big hit. We didn’t try the other playground at the park because the toddler section kept my almost 5 and 2 year old completely occupied.

    Nice playing Park for kids. We had a nice walk on the promenade

    Very nice place for toddlers and young children. Newar the heart of the city, it is great to have such a beautiful green space and children playground. It is definitely worth a mention that it is specially equipped for children who need extra support in the form of a "special needs swing seat". Otherwise certainly the extra seating area for adults supervising children is most welcome.

    Needs more bike parking, can be noisy with passing car traffic on University Road - roll on the Salmon Wier Bus Gate

    Very nice looking park, but my kids (4 and 7) got bored pretty quickly. Lovely walk with beautiful flowers though, and the skate park looked cool.

    Great place to let the kids off and enjoy themselves.

    Safe park, great on a sunny day

    Great improvements and features have been added giving children hours of fun. Great effort by the council to add " innovative" items such as water and sand play. Good job.

    Good place to refresh with family. Kids zone is fantastic.

    Good inner city outdoor facility. Nice area for walks. Playground for kids and skate park for bigger kids. The automatic toilet's door needs attention though. It closes when it feels like it, so get someone to stand guard when answering a call of nature.

    Excellent playground in the park, by NUIG and the Cathedral with Ward's deli right beside it for nice sandwiches, coffee, smoothies, ice-creams etc when the kods start to whinge 👍 parking on the road beside the park too and the meters take card, so don't worry about having coins
