Corkagh Park, Public park in County Dublin, Ireland
Corkagh Park is a large public park in County Dublin with walking paths, cycling routes, gardens, playgrounds, and several ponds. The grounds sit in the west of the county and are open to walkers and cyclists throughout the year.
The land was formerly used for farming and was converted into a public park in the late 20th century. The existing streams and ponds were kept and worked into the new layout.
Corkagh Park keeps Ireland's only purpose-built cycle track, where criterium races are held in summer. The grounds also hold a playground, sports pitches and, unusually for Ireland, a baseball field. The park's name comes from the Irish corcach, meaning "marsh".
The park lies between the N7 and the Old Nangor Road, with a caravan park near the N7 entrance. The Camac flows through the grounds and the fishing ponds sit within them. Ireland's only purpose-built cycle track is here, used for criterium races in summer.
