O'Brien's Park — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Freestanding concrete gateway, built c. 1940, constructed as a classical triumphal arch, with the effect of ashlar masonry, forming a tripartite arrangement reminiscent of the John Russell gate to the People's Park (Pery Square). This forms the main entrance to O'Brien's Park. Central round-arched opening within elevation having parapet entablature, repeated at lower flanking walls which are punctuated by round-arch pedestrian gateways. Steel gates to all openings. Set back from road, flanked by curved cast-iron railings on concrete plinth wall.

An interesting early use of concrete executed in a classical manner. The allusion to a triumphal arch to this modest park enhances the streetscape and is further complimented by being directly opposite the entrances to Limerick Institute of Technology.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
