People's Park

People's Park, Public park in Waterford, Ireland.

People's Park covers 6.6 hectares (16.3 acres) at the junction of Park Road and William Street, making it Waterford's largest public park. It holds a Victorian bandstand, two children's playgrounds and an iron footbridge linking it to the Court House grounds. The former caretaker's house at the gate now holds the Park Lodge café.

The park occupies what was marshland crossed by John's River until 1857, when the river was diverted and the land drained to allow construction. It was laid out in the 19th century and is now the largest public park in Waterford, covering 6.6 hectares (16.3 acres) at the junction of Park Road and William Street. It was renovated and upgraded in 2022 and 2024.

The bandstand was pulled down in May 2011, its ornate wrought iron railings damaged; Gardaí arrested several suspects and Waterford City Council's engineering department repaired it promptly. The park's name comes from its role as a public green for the city. The Park Lodge café now occupies the former caretaker's house at the gate.

The park sits at the junction of Park Road and William Street, with an iron footbridge linking it to the Court House grounds. Two children's playgrounds lie inside, one of them a baby play area added in the 2022 and 2024 upgrades. The Park Lodge café, in the renovated former caretaker's house at the gate, is a natural starting point.

The park held Ireland's first velodrome, the Goff cycle track, from 1891. The track is gone, but the site's sporting past is easy to miss while walking the paths today.
