About
Weaver Park Playground sits in a compact urban park just off Cork Street in the Liberties. The playground is enclosed, with a climbing structure modelled on the old gable houses, slides and smaller pieces that suit younger kids. Beside it there’s a concrete skate bowl and street-style skate area that draws older children and teenagers, plus a central lawn where families kick a ball or have a quick picnic. Paths loop around planted borders and a small community garden. It feels very local, with kids from nearby apartments using it after school and at weekends rather than as a full-day destination.
- Enclosed playground installation inspired by historic Dutch Billy gable houses
- Concrete skate bowl and street-style skate area for older children and teens
- Central lawn for ball games, picnics and informal play
- Pergola and seating areas overlooking the play spaces
- Community garden and planted borders created as part of the Liberties Greening Strategy
