People's Park, Public park in Waterford, Ireland.
People's Park is a public park in Waterford featuring gardens, walking paths, and play areas spread across multiple hectares. The site includes a café housed in the restored caretaker's lodge that offers visitors refreshments.
The park was created in 1855 when Mayor John A. Blake transformed marshland into public green space. Financial support from Waterford citizens made this community project possible.
The Victorian bandstand functions as a social hub where locals and visitors gather for concerts and community celebrations. It remains a focal point for outdoor events that bring people together throughout the year.
The park is easy to navigate with multiple pathways suitable for walking or relaxed strolling through its different sections. Visitors should dress for weather conditions and allow enough time to explore both open areas and more planted zones.
The park housed the Goff cycle track, Ireland's first velodrome, which opened in 1891 and pioneered cycling sport in the country. This early sports facility helped establish the site's role in athletic development.
