People's Park (Waterford)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The People's Park is the largest public park in Waterford city. Laid out over a century ago, its 16.3 acres comprise the foremost public, green space in the city.

The park contains a victorian-era bandstand, the Goff cycle track (which is in need of repair), a children's playground, a spherical monument and water feature and an old painted iron bridge connecting the park to the grounds of the court house. The park is currently being upgraded in phases. On July 12th, 2006, 1 million euro funding was announced to continue refurbishment. Perhaps the most important element of the aforementioned refurbishment is the inclusion of a skateboarding park.
