The Memorial Children's Park, or Redmond Park as it is more widely known, is a quaint and charming oasis right in the heart of Wexford town. It was formally established in 1933 to remember Major Willie Redmond who died in 1917 in the Great War. In the decades since it has given joy to generations of Wexford families and it remains a favourite with Wexford families today. Redmond Park deserves a blog!

Autumn is a Special Time at Redmond Park
I love the feel of Redmond Park at this time of year. Gone are the long, hot care-free days of Summer to be replaced with something much deeper, much more subdued. The dew hangs heavy on the grass late into the day and piles of fresh fallen leaves pile up at the gate. With the canopy of leaves diminished there is more light and a feeling of more space. You can almost feel the seasons changing as you stand beneath the old Scot's Pine trees. Shadows lengthen and all is quiet.
