My boyfriend and I visited the park in august 2020 and had a lovely day! Parking was free possibly due to covid and unfortunately the cafe closes early which we hadn’t realised. There’s so much to do and see and you can rent bikes there too. We had a lovely couple of hours there and would have stayed longer if the weather hadn’t turned!

Its been 2 years since my last review and i can happily report that the amenity is improving all the time. Additional Signposts, Dog foul Bins and other enhancements are in place. Starting in Tullamore. To the West the Greenway now extends 15km to Pollough (The wonderful Lough Boora Parklands is accessible a further 12km along, but there is some work yet to be done to enhance the route). The route is rural. The surface is a mix of tarmac and dust track but is well maintained and suitable for walkers and cyclists of all ages and abilities. To the East the greenway stretches to Ballycommon (6km) with similar underfoot conditions. Since Covid-19 this wide open air free amenity is well populated and appreciated by all. Plans to extend to Daingean (6km further East), Lough Boora Parklands (West) and Kilbeggan to the North of Ballycommon (partially constructed) are nearing construction (2021!). Tips :- Bring a lunch and plenty of water for long strolls. Toilets are not provided (yet!?), thus public houses in Tullamore, Pollagh (the Pull INN (lovely pub) and Ballycommon are your best bet for the time being if caught short (and to have a well deserving pint perhaps!). Out of towners seeking bike hire can hire from Buckley Cycles or the Tullamore Cycle Centre both providing top quality new bikes at affordable costs. Enjoy a trek/spin and spread the good word.
