About
A small harbour-side playground on Harbour Road in Howth, right beside the promenade and close to the pier. It’s a straightforward play space that works best for toddlers and younger primary-school children, with familiar equipment like swings and slides in a compact layout. Because it sits in the middle of the harbour area, there’s usually plenty happening around it—boats coming and going, people walking the pier, and families stopping off during a longer outing. Most visits are short and casual, often combined with a harbour walk or a look for seals along the pier.
