Murphy's Farm, Cork

Murphy's Farm is a playground near Curraheen Close in Cork, County Cork, 5.0 km south-west of the centre.

Murphy's Farm in Bishopstown is a playground, not a farm anybody visits to see animals. Pure Cork describes climbing units, tower slides, balancing bars, sand areas and separate toddler and juvenile sections, gated and inspected daily by City Council staff, open nine to four seven days a week. The name is the name of the ground it stands on.Filed here under Playgrounds for that reason, rather than under the heading the map gives it. Pure Cork, source, read on 2026-09-21.

Where this comes from

From the map
The name, the kind of place, the address where the record carries one, and any website, phone or opening hours shown as recorded on the map are tags on OpenStreetMap node/320092717, and can be corrected there.
Worked out here
Every distance, the nearest road where the record has no address, which car park and which stop are nearest, and the order of the lists are this site’s own calculations from those records. Distances are straight lines between two points, not walks along the footpaths, and the map will route the real walk on request. A mistake in any of this is a mistake here rather than on the map.
