Great little reserve with amazing water quality. Perfect place for a picnic or kids birthday party and the new playground is pretty good. Awesome to see new playgrounds being made with lots of timber and as little oil based plastics as possible.
Liffey Domain
Gerald Street, 1 James Street, Lincoln 7608
Why these ages?
Junior multi-play with slide, infant swing and see-saw is a proper little-kids setup, and reviewers say it suits about 8yo and under. The Liffey stream flows through the reserve unfenced from the play area, so a toddler who bolts can reach water quickly. Best used as a stop-and-play with hands-on supervision, not a coffee-and-watch.
Access notes
Description explicitly describes this as a bark surfaced playground twice, a clear barrier for wheelchair users, with only on street parking and no accessible parking or path features mentioned anywhere.
