Lovely walks around the park. Some works going on and areas closed off. Could do with better signage. Cafe is nice to visit. Not a big menu, nice staff and location on the lake.
Fairy Walk is great for kids.
Few toilet facilities dotted around.

We visited Lough Boora with our two children and had a fantastic day out. There is so much for kids to enjoy, from the little train to the enchanting mossy woodland that feels like something out of a fairy tale. Our children loved exploring and running around the forest trails.
The park is very accessible and well maintained, making it easy for families to get around. Bicycle hire is available, including wagons for younger children, which is a great option for exploring more of the park.
We finished our visit at the café, where we enjoyed refreshments on the lovely terrace overlooking a peaceful lake. It was the perfect way to end a wonderful family day out. We’ll definitely be back!

Great day out. Lovely cafe, which also has a sheltered outdoor seating area overlooking the water.
We had a lovely walk - most paths were accessible.
The bike-hire person was lovely and helpful - we didn't hire bikes this time but think we will next time. (We also saw the accessibility bikes which seem like a great idea - you can phone or email Lough Boora park for info on those).

Fab place to go to on a nice day for a lovely walk/cycle/run. Each time I visit there's always something different being build. Plenty to explore and plenty more coming soon I believe such as a sauna hot tub. And I saw train tracks so I presume a train journey around is on the cards soon.

today i went here with my family and had such a lovely time. the atmosphere was truly unique and had an otherworldy quality. the mixture of moss was gorgeous. the sculpture walk was so enjoyable and i loved how each artwork incorparated elements of old machinery. there were lots of bathrooms and bins along the walk which was greatly appreciated. overall i would highly reccomend !!

It was a privilege to host this 5km memorial walk for Alan and Michael.
Thanks to @dochasoffalycancersupport , the Offaly Volunteers, and most importantly Martina and all of her family and friends who did a tremendous job organising this event, along with raising money for some brilliant causes.
Martina and her family were a delight to host, and are an inspiringly positive group of people. They should be very proud as they did a fantastic job today bringing the local community together. ... See MoreSee Less
