Great place to chill out and enjoy a coffee with views of Cork Harbour

Lovely park. Plenty of seating. Great view out the harbour. Small playground for toddlers, under 5. Water is fenced off, but would still keep my eyes on kids.

As detailed on the four plaques attached onto the wall of the landing at the steps of its central entrance, this park was built in 1865 and originally called the Columbine Quay. However, it is known locally as the Prom. The park became a popular venue for band concerts and in 1896 the Victorian bandstand was erected, however it fell into disrepair and was removed in 1963. The most recent renovations were carried out to mark the Millennium. The park was renamed and dedicated to the Kennedy Memorial Park after his visit in June 1963 and shortly before his assassination later in that year. The park is well maintained and is amazingly clean. It has extensive paved areas and bench seating as well as landscaped garden beds, litter bins, lighting and restrooms. As well as the original bandstand, it has a small playground. There are two ornamental cannons, returned from the Boer and Crimean Wars in 1899 and 1854 respectively, two feature water fountains and two maypoles, as well as a number of memorials including a memorial to the Irish boxer Jack Doyle, a monument to the Antarctic Explorer Robert Ford, and Mary Gregory's sculpture called The Navigator. It's a relatively small park however given its central and prominent location along the Cobh promenade with panoramic views over the harbour, its bandstand, extensive seating, and kids play space which is extensively fenced, it continues to this day to be the focus of recreation in the town centre. It's a lovely seaside park, and a great place to sit and ponder with great panoramic views overlooking Cork Harbour and in the background with rows of shops and terraces rising up the steep hillside, dominated by the tall and impressive 19th century, neo-Gothic St. Colman's Cathedral.

Great little park with plenty of benches and an amazing view on the bay. We were lucky to come to Cobh during a local market - great atmosphere

Closes at irregular times. Today @1805 when it’s bright. Kids couldn’t play in the playground. Makes no sense. I get it closing after dark. Otherwise, a nice well kept park.

Locals call it the Prom (Promenade). They may give you a confused look if you ask for directions to John F Kennedy Park. Though its impossible not to find it along the seafront in Cobh.
