I went to Farran Wood with my husband recently and I'm so glad that I did. There is plenty of…read moreparking, toilets and a playground. I found this place to be beautiful and looking forward to going back again

FARRAN WOOD Been a while since I visited Farran Wood or…read moreFarran Forest Park to give it its full title. It is signposted from the main Cork-Macroom Road at Srelane (Ovens) and the entry fee is a fiver per vehicle. There is plenty of parking, toilets and a playground. The first and probably main attraction is the wildlife enclosure with large pond. Here, the red and fallow deer (including some very young inquisitive animals) come right up to the fence to say hello. The pond attracts duck and geese. There are two signed walks around the wood, the longer of which takes you down to the banks of the Inniscarra Reservoir, where the River Llee is held up to form a lake. The National Rowing Centre, which has its own entrance, is located within the park on the shores of the lake. Enjoyed my walk around the other day, even though the rain came down before the finish. Still, there was ample shelter under the trees. Headed then for the old shooting lodge which has been converted into a woodland ecology display centre but that was locked up. Temporary or permanent? There was no sign up but I have sent a query off to the Coillte and I'll let you know the answer.

Fantastic location for the family. I actually can't say enough positive things about this place…read more It is €9 per adult and €9 per child but you get so much from animals to play areas for kids young and old. Go early to make the most of it and bring a packed lunch. Don't forget to buy some of their new icecream made using their very own cows; delish.

Great place to spend a wet Saturday!!There's a massive three-story indoor play area that my 2 year…read moreold daughter adored. We got to see lots and lots of farmyard animals including Stevie and Mags - two little lambs. Also Humphrey a retired camel, a cow and newborn calf, pigs and piglets and birds of all shapes and sizes. The ride on the barrel train was great fun. The restaurant had good quality sandwiches, burgers and snacks which were fresh and tasty. All in all a great day out!!

Cute little playground within walking distance of the main street in Charleville. There are lots of…read moreactivities - see saw, roundabout, slides, swings, climbing frames, along with a really great, fenced mini basketball court. The park has a very small parking lot (6-8 spots?) but there is a public parking across the road. The park, aside from the playground, is lovely, expansive grass area, great for letting the kids run around or play football. Additionally, tucked in a corner opposite the playground, is an adult training area with an elliptical, benchpress and other workout activities, with a paved walkway all around the park perimeter. Well worth stopping to let the kids run free if you're driving through Charleville to Cork/Dublin or even if you're from around here and your kids need to run their sillies off. I took 1 star away because of the lack of parking, along with there being no toilet facilities. As someone traveling through the town, this is a must and sadly not a common occurrence in Irish playgrounds.

I have only been in the Regional Park a few times now and absolutely love wandering around. I have…read morewent for strolls with my husband or gone to exercise by myself and I really enjoy it. They have done up the park over the past few years and it looks great. There is a river, some streams and canals and much more to see in this park. I even found a fairy path this morning and I absolutely loved it, it is a great idea for kids and adults a like! There are places to play soccer/football and a playground for children as well. I really enjoy this park and recommend to go there if you are in the Ballincollig area

There are some outdoor exercise structures for adults to use too. I only wish I had more time to spend here. This is all paid for by the town's support so it is a wonderful place to enjoy for free! There is a nice coffee truck in the parking lot. I anticipate it gets full so try to visit in the morning!

Food selection and quality is excellent, facilities are great BUT the entrance fee is way too…read moreexpensive. €5 per child per hour is nearly twice what most other kids play areas charge. We drove down from kilkenny and it all adds up.

I spent some time at this park after walking miles through Cork. My feet were throbbing and I was…read morein desperate need of a break. I found a bench by the river and sat for a while. The wind was lovely and it wasn't raining and the bench was in the shade so I got to sit for a good long while. I popped in my earbuds and listened to an audiobook and it was peaceful bliss. There are public bathrooms but they are paid so I avoided them. There are lots of benches and trash cans around so the park is fairly clean. Once you move away from the playground there aren't too many children and it's not too noisy, so it's the perfect place to relax for a bit.
