Information about this open space

Downhills Park is an irregular shaped 12 hectares or parkland split into two very distinctive sections. To the west lies the recreation ground, used each weekend during the season for organised Gaelic football and for more informal kick abouts by children and adults of all ages, throughout the year.  The formal gardens lie to the east of the Park. Today the elegance and sophistication of the early nineteenth century design still remains. The ornamental Italian Gardens located at the heart of the Park, made up of rose beds and annual bedding are a favourite with park users.  Circular walkways run around the park and secluded seating areas are located in the ancient woodland, where a range of flora and fauna thrives. And north of the tennis and basketball courts lie the remains of the 18th century manor house that existed when the land was previously the Mount Pleasant Estate.
