Bishop Lucey Park is located in the center of Cork. It was opened in 1985 and is a place of relaxation and rest for employees of local offices and residents. On its premises, you can see the remains of the old city walls and a fountain with eight swans symbolizing the 800-year history of the city.
The opening of the park was one of many investments to commemorate the 800th anniversary of Cork receiving city rights. Its construction took several years, and it replaced a department store destroyed by a fire in 1970. The entrance to the park is decorated with a double arch, which was moved here from Anglesea Street, where it served as the gateway to the grain market.
Behind the entrance are exposed remnants of Cork city walls. In the park, you can see a sculpture depicting an onion seller. It is a tribute to all the merchants and sellers who have worked in this district in the past.
