Bishop Lucey Park

Bishop Lucey Park, Public park in central Cork, Ireland

Bishop Lucey Park is a public park between Grand Parade and South Main Street in central Cork. A section of the old city wall, excavated during construction, is visible near the Grand Parade entrance. Christchurch Lane, a pedestrian lane alongside Christ Church, was incorporated into the park in 2011. The park reopened in November 2025 with a new layout.

The park occupies part of Cork's original Hiberno-Norse settlement, and a portion of the old city wall, excavated during construction, is visible near the Grand Parade entrance. For almost 800 years the site held commercial buildings, religious buildings and schools. After Jennings department store burnt down in 1970, the derelict land became a park, officially opened on 6 December 1985, the year Cork marked the 800th anniversary of its charter.

A copy of Séamus Murphy's sculpture "The Onion Seller" was donated by the hosiery firm Sunbeam Wolsey when the park opened in 1985. It depicts a woman who sold onions at Cork's Coal Quay market, a trade long associated with the city's quayside.

Bishop Lucey Park runs between Grand Parade and South Main Street, with entrances on both sides; the old city wall fragment is near the Grand Parade gate. It is busiest at lunchtime, when city-centre workers and residents eat outdoors if the weather allows. Christchurch Lane, once a pedestrian lane beside Christ Church on the northern edge, was absorbed into the park in 2011.

The entrance gates came from Cork's former corn market on Anglesea Street and were relocated here when the park opened in 1985. These gates connect the space to an older market tradition from the city's past.
