Fitzgerald Park & Cork MuseumFree Admission Tourist Attraction in Ireland #19A twenty minute walk from Cork City Centre will bring visitors to Fitzgeralds Park on the banks of the River Lee. This is a fine park for a walk and there is a very good playground for the kids who will also enjoy the 'shaky bridge' in the park. Artwork and sculptures punctuate your walk leading you to Cork Museum which is located in an old Georgian building and which places particular emphasis on local trades, skills and crafts. 
The oldest Pick and Shovel in Ireland from the Bronze Age, exquisite Youghal Lace, the Cobh Famine Relief Book, Huguenot exhibits as well as artifacts from around the world are all housed in this small but perfectly formed Museum. The Michael Collins exhibition is always popular celebrating as it does the lifetime of one of Cork's most famous sons and one of the fathers of the Irish nation. The small cafe on site offers fine views over the nearby river. So if you are staying in Cork City or even just visiting for the day, the Park and Museum offers a great and free diversion!
