Explore the Natural and Historical Wonders of Glen River Park: A Guided Walk and Creative Mapping Workshop
Join us for an enriching guided walk led by Gerard O’Brien whose family lived in the Glen when working for Gouldings Chemicals. Gerard is author of ‘Faeries, Felons and Fine Gentlemen: History of the Glen, Cork 1700 to 1980’ and will lead us on a spoken excavation of the park, offering a unique perspective on its historical importance and natural wonders. Gain insights into the park’s past, uncovering how its landscape has shaped the lives and experiences of local residents over the years.

The second half of the event will be led by Spoon and Bloom, where we will come together and collectively map our journey through the park, piecing together the past with the present and designing our own individual visions for the future of the Glen River Park. Experience Glen River Park like never before, where every step tells a story. We look forward to sharing this adventure with you.
