OakPark Forest Park Carlow in Cill Chainnigh

Lovely

As of July 8, 22 the majority of the trails are under construction/repair. The only loop I could walk today was to the playground.

Lovely place to go 2

Beautiful Forest walk just outside Carlow Town. It has a small playground for the kids as you walk in towards the walking trails with picnic tables around it. The area is always kept really well!

Its a let run down. Dangerous walkways. Wires are sticking up. You cant enjoy a walk, must concentrate not tripping. Very short walks left, all sealed off. This is the most needy time for people to help themselves with a besutiful nature. We are having most dificult times, and we have to lookafter our mental health. This beautiful, very centrally located park should be upgrade to safer place with lots of wild flowers. Its a shame. 😢

A once lovely walkway through beautiful woods just outside Carlow townThis is falling into disrepair very quicklyBoardwalks are missing - large sections are blocked offThe playground and exercise equipment is still thereToilets and cat park for visitors2/3 years ago this would have gotten 5 stars

A lovely walk - family friendly especially if you have young children - easy terrain, playground, picnic tables etc.

It has lovely loop walks, great play area for children, plenty of parking spaces and toilets, there was a van selling tea, coffee etc, its a great park.

Lovely place for a relaxing walk

Lovely location could be a great walk but the pathway under foot lets it down. Old broken wooden slats with very loose wire holding it together. Very different to look at the beautiful woodland and river for fear of tripping. Shame.

Lovely park. Nice walks suitable for all fitness levels even has exercising equipment. Lovely for the kids too.

Peace full, energy creating place

A lovely park ideal for family walks.

Nice walk. Good picnic facilities. Loos were a bit smelly but had soap and loo roll.

Great day. Lovely coffee from vintage coffee

Stunning place and very well kept.

Nice place for walks, playground and fitness area there, however not all paths are suitable for buggies(red marked trail).

Had a Beautiful walk through the woods with the children. A few walks of varying distances to choose from. Then back through the Exercise park on the way to the kids playground. Has lovely large grass area with picnic tables beside the playground, big enough to kick ball!!! Clean toilets and a coffee trailer in the carpark!

Wonderful walk through beautiful nature!

It is a lovely little park. It is fun for young kids with a small playground and there is a fun little trail through the forest. Nice place to take a dog out for a walk. Way too small to be used for a jog and the little forest loop may be a bit dangerous for the ankles, but a lovely jog can be made to the park. Someone should put a little coffee kiosk in the car park or near the playground :)

Great walks and one of the only forest walks with toilets

Walking path with wood is really bad and old. They should have left it natural...

I love going their and its great to see all the new seating areas being put in

Nice forest walk. I like the information posts that tell you what species some of the trees there are. The path is mostly paved but there are a couple of small sunken wet muddy bits where the wooden path has flooded. Doesnt really detract much from this pleasant forest walk. Theres also a childrens play area, some picnic tables and outdoor exercise machines thatre free to use by the public. Overall, a really nice public amenity.

Lovely walk pity parts of it are closed off

Great forest park, nice walking path, very good for family walks

Free to visit and park, nice playground and picnic area. The trails are well kept and have educational articles about the forest.

Lovely area, large space for picnics and multiple benches. Playground and toilets. Great for a day trip

Its a great place to walk i love it there but i dont like the insect bites

I loved this forest. Went for a happy stroll along every route.

Gone very run down since I was here last. Walk ways are in need of repair as they are rotting in some areas and uneven in other parts.

Within 5 minutes drive of the town centre, Oak Park is a great getaway from the bustle of the town. Easily accessible by foot or bike, it is a terrific venue to escape I to nature for an hour during lunch time or a trek after work. The paths are easy access yet very enjoyable.

very nice place with kids playground and outdoor gym

A Great place to bring kids and to go for a walk

Lovely spot. Met family there. Good half way point between Dublin and the South. Childrens playground is quality. Good walks and decent forest walks.

Great little gem hidden at the Kildare-Carlow border. The park has great play ground for youngsters and very nice walks for all family including little and not that little fur family members too. The lake loop is short but gives great views. All information boards displayed are great for young people to educate themselves.

Love it here. Come here with my dog Millie. Tranquil place with great surroundings

Fabulous park, really dense forest. Quiet too.

Nice wooded walk, very popular with familys.

Is a magnifient place, i recomand the place four good walking ways.

Wonderful long walks on on paths suitable for most. Just ensure to wear fly repellant as they bite like crocs

Nice place to go for a walk in a fresh air. This place has a kids play area with swings, outdow workout area and forest walk. If you go to forest, then make sure to take moskito repellent with you because the place is bit swampy and there is a good amount of moskitos around. If you dont mind to be chewed then you are more than welcome to go without the repellent :)

Where to start.... this place is amazing for people who love family outdoor activities. Great peaceful scenery with place to picnic and children to play and some equipment for people to exercise. Absolutely great place!!!!

Lovely place for all family. 😊

Beautiful place for a forest walk, winter or summer

Good for walk, running, to spend time with family, kids, picnic etc. Free gym on the fresh air...

Beautiful place. Play ground for children and a lovely walkway around the forest. Excercise equipment for those who would like an outdoor workout. Highly recommended

Great, peaceful place to walk.

Great place for kids. Good for family picnic. Lovely playground ready for kids with special needs.

great place to visit and go for a walk , Would of given 5/5 stars but some of the board walk needs replacement
