People's Park, Urban park in central Limerick, Ireland
Description
People's Park is an urban park in central Limerick with landscaped grounds, walking paths, and mature trees including ash, beech, birch, and elm species. Seasonal flower beds add color throughout the year and create different visual interest across seasons.
History
The park was established in 1877 following a gift from the Earl of Limerick and was named after Richard Russell. Its creation followed the incomplete development of a Georgian square in the city.
Culture
The northern area contains a city art gallery where visitors regularly find changing exhibitions and can visit an on-site café. The space draws people seeking local art experiences and a break in a green setting.
Practical
The park opens at 8 AM daily and remains accessible until dusk, with extended hours until 9 PM during late spring and summer months. Visitors planning evening time should note the longer daylight in warm seasons.
