🗺️ Round O Road, Enniskillen, County Fermanagh

What you’ll find

Round O is a large open recreation area sitting right on the edge of Lough Erne.

For the kids, the play park is probably going to be the first stop! There’s space for them to climb, slide and burn off some energy, with lots of grass surrounding it for running around too.

One of our favourite parts is simply being beside the water. Walk down towards the jetty and you can watch the boats on Lough Erne, take in the views and enjoy a little wander along the shoreline.

There are picnic tables and lots of open space, so on a dry day it’s an easy place to bring lunch and stay a little longer.

For the grown ups

Round O is a really handy option because it’s so close to Enniskillen town centre but still feels like you’ve escaped to somewhere quieter.

There are lovely views across Lough Erne and plenty of space to sit while the kids play.

It also works really well as part of a bigger day exploring Enniskillen rather than necessarily being a full day out on its own.

Why we liked it

✅ It’s completely FREE.

✅ The kids can have a good run around in the play park.

✅ Beautiful views over Lough Erne.

✅ We loved walking down to the jetty and watching the boats.

✅ Lots of green space for picnics and letting the kids run.

✅ Really handy for combining with a day in Enniskillen.

Wee Adventurer Top Tips

⭐️ Bring a picnic – there’s plenty of space to sit and enjoy lunch beside the water.

⭐️ Keep a close eye on younger children around the jetty and water.

⭐️ Bring scooters if your kids enjoy scooting along the paths.

⭐️ Don't rush off after the play park – take a wander down towards the water and jetty.

⭐️ Combine it with another Enniskillen adventure to make a full day of it.

Overall verdict

Round O Jetty is one of those simple FREE days out that is always handy to have saved.

You’ve got a play park for the kids, plenty of green space, picnic spots and gorgeous views across Lough Erne, all just minutes from Enniskillen town centre.

It doesn't need to be an all-day adventure. Come for a play, bring a picnic, wander down to the jetty and watch the boats go by.

Sometimes the simple days out are the best ones!
