memorial parks cork

This picturesque park was opened in 1985 as part of the city's 800th birthday celebrations. It is named after Bishop Lucey, a much loved Bishop of Cork. The entrance archway dates from 1850 and was reconstructed from the Cork Cornmarket.

The park includes a beautiful sculptured fountain of eight bronze swans representing the 800 years of the city as a chartered Norman town and remains of the early city walls can clearly be seen....
