Leisureworld is one of the public gyms in Cork...but gives the impression of being more than that!…read more I headed here when I was between gym memberships when I lived in Cork and will still pop in if I'm back down. They are one of the few gyms in the city to offer pay-as-you-go which is really handy. It's not overwhelmingly cheap to do so, but competitive....at €8.20 for the gym at peak times-there's a student rate of €3.80 off peak if you have a card. Full price list here: http://churchfield.leisureworldcork.com/index.cfm/page/prices. The fees for annual membership aren't particularly low either, but there are often specials on. The pool is great-clean with dedicated lane swimming. There's a slide and a lovely kiddie pool with buildings to climb on! Nice shiny steam room and sauna too. The gym is quite small but has been spotless anytime I've visited. It can get quite busy but it's usually possible to get on whatever you want. The main gym overlooks the city and is filled with light. Individual TVs make time on the elliptical less yawnsome...although there is no way of adjusting the volume on the sets. They have recently moved heavier weights into a separate room which has pros (like increased equipment provided) and cons (more awkward to do circuits etc). Good range of classes provided-took a couple of challenging circuit and bootcamp ones. Staff are friendly and will help if you want...or leave you to your own devices if you'd prefer. Massage services are also available onsite and the gym is part of a GP referral programme. Major wins are the cleanliness and ability to pay per visit. It's a happy place!

I spent some time at this park after walking miles through Cork. My feet were throbbing and I was…read morein desperate need of a break. I found a bench by the river and sat for a while. The wind was lovely and it wasn't raining and the bench was in the shade so I got to sit for a good long while. I popped in my earbuds and listened to an audiobook and it was peaceful bliss. There are public bathrooms but they are paid so I avoided them. There are lots of benches and trash cans around so the park is fairly clean. Once you move away from the playground there aren't too many children and it's not too noisy, so it's the perfect place to relax for a bit.

I've been karting many times, both indoors and outdoors, love it! I had always known about the…read moreLimerick track owned by the same company but I never managed to make the journey up. Once I heard that they had opened a track in Cork I knew I had to make an appearance! I got a group of 8 of us together and books us in for a 30 minute session. For an indoor track it was nothing like I had ever seen before, it has different floors, cool neon lighting, even the viewing area was something different and impressive as you actually can stand on a platform which the karts drive under. The karts are nice and quick but there aren't too many long straights to build up much speed as there are a lot of bends and quick turns. At the start of the race we found the track a little bit slippy, but the tyres got better the warmer they got. The other great thing is they have 4 stewards around the track so if you spin out one of them will spot you and get you back driving asap. Overall we had a great bit of fun down there. It's a really professional set up and I'd definitely come back.

This gym has it all. Before I started out, I was badly out of shape and the concept of a gym itself…read morewas alien to me. I often wondered how people did up all their programmed and stuck with it. After the first few weeks, it became clear that I had found the right place. The two instructors have an in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works - what is good for one may not be good for another etc. They tailor their programmes to suit individuals who may have injuries etc. No one is left behind. The six week cycle that they employ works very well - with test weeks occurring after each 6 weeks so you can compare results and see the improvements you have made (and you definitely do make them!). the attention to detail is what I like most, with each class incorporating a warm up of the muscles that will be actively used in that session. Cork gyms has become (from my viewpoint) a saturated market place but if you are looking for guidance and the best way to improve (like I was, coming from a base of nothing), I genuinely could not recommend this place enough. You will gain in strength (a given), but coupled with the fact that there is a HIIT (conditioning piece) incorporated within each session, this will also drastically improve your fitness levels. I was a slob before I started here and have no issue admitting as much - but thanks to the lads, I have regained confidence in myself. Finally, and this is of critical importance in my eyes, there are absolutely NO ego's in the gym. Before I joined, I had a vision in my head of meat heads staring people out of it for being inferior to themselves. This could not be further from the Truth - every person up there encourages each other - regardless of ability - and this is what pleased me most and continues to please). If you are thinking about a gym and are unsure, do yourself a favor and get in touch with either of the lads for a trial session even (free of charge). I can guarantee you will not regret it and you will become gripped instantly. Easily the best decision I've made with my lifestlye over the last 18 months was joining DTF and I thankfully feel all the better for it.

Brilliant gym and a great community atmosphere in there…read more I've tried the whole gym thing a few times over the past number of years and always got fed up and frustrated after a few weeks. The setup in DT Fitness is great. The owners Adam and Colin know every member by name and are very helpful and welcoming. It's class orientated with set times so you go and get your workout done. Everyone does the same class together (Adam and Colin can alter it for your needs also) which makes it much easier and everyone talks to each other and keeps spirits up. The classes are well structured and measured so you can see really see your improvements over time. They focus on all key areas: strength, cardio and flexibility. It's been over 6 months now and I'm still going a few times a week. I'm at the point now where I look forward to going to the gym. I've seen a tremendous improvement in my strength and fitness since I started going and can't wait to improve even more.

Well used, multi aged playground just off the main street of Mallow. It has swings, slides,…read moreroundabouts, rockets, climbing frames, ladders and plenty of space to run about. It's close proximity to the shops, Mallow Town Park, the river, Mallow House and Castle. Our 9, 8 & 5 yr old were kept entertained. The playground is super busy with lots of kids playing and hanging out. For parents... positives: there are lots of seats and rubbish bins negatives: limited parking outside the park on a very busy road and does not have adult exercise equipment the new parks boast of. Most importantly however, there are no toilet facilities. I took off 2 stars because of the lack of toilets and parking, along with the park being a little more aged than others we have visited. As another reviewer pointed out, the equipment could do with a pressure wash and graffiti cleaned. In saying all this we would stop here again if we needed to stretch our legs and need a break in the car journey. Edit: found public pay toilets up the hill as you head into the main street. A sign at the playground telling people would be handy.
