This little town green is a gathering spot for locals and tourists. It has pubs and shops surrounding it, and just makes it easy to get one's bearings when visiting Galway.

Never have I seen such a well used park...and I lived in NYC. The weather was gloriously sunny & young & old alike were in the park to enjoy it. The greenest park I've ever seen, it is small by comparison to others but worth the stop & the tribute to JFK therein.

Its lovely with its huge square green in the centre and shops and bars and restaurants etc all around. There is a monument to JFKennedy in the square. He visited the city only 4 mths before he was assassinated. There are plenty of streets off the square for shopping and the buskers are a delight.

Loved the buzz around the town. Musicians playing trad music were brilliant. We also had a coffee in a little tea shop down at Spanish Arch. It was called cupain tae. It is a quaint little cafe with lace table cloths and china Delph. All home baked cakes really lovely

Fun place to hang out for a while and people watch on a sunny day. Filled with shoppers, tourists, dogs, local drunks, musicians and lots of kids. Don't forget to visit the Kennedy Memorial plaque to commemorate his visit in 1963.
