Local Sandyford playground with swings, slide and a perimeter path opposite Beacon Hospital.
About
Neighbourhood park in Sandyford with a compact, modern playground and a simple loop path for bikes and scooters. The play area sits beside open grass and benches, so parents can sit close while younger kids climb, slide and swing. Most visits are short—20–40 minutes after school or a quick weekend run-around—with older kids tending to kick a ball on the grass or lap the path on scooters. It’s a handy stop for families living or working around Beacon Hospital and Naomh Ólaf GAA. Best for toddlers and primary-school ages; straightforward, clean and easy to pair with errands in Beacon South Quarter.
