Doorly Park, Sligo

I had a walk around Doorly Park during the week.  I love how the place looks when we actually get to see a bit of sun….which is a rare occurrence in Ireland.

It’s a popular place for people to walk and now as well as the walk there is also the outdoor gym. Before Christmas some new machines were added along the walkway so there is plenty for people to do.

When I was there the other day I decided to turn right instead of doing the looped walk on the left. There is a lot of digging and construction going on opposite the sports centre and I wanted to see if I could get out that way and walk back down. I couldn’t because it’s blocked off due to the construction but it looks like it’s going to be great when it’s finished and will add more onto the Doorly Park walk. It also looks like there is going to be a sports field or maybe a race track. Anyway I carried on going and walked up a really steep slope.

I ended up on the ‘Holy Well’ road. The view was lovely although next time I do it hopefully the weather might be better.

I turned right at the top of the slope and headed back to the race course and along to Doorly Park. Of course the heavens decided to open and I ended up running most of the way back. My legs are still recovering.
