Triogue Linear Park & Dog Park

Following the gentle course of the Triogue River through the heart of Portlaoise, Triogue Linear Park is one of the town’s most inviting green corridors — a peaceful escape that connects nature, community, and outdoor recreation. This thoughtfully landscaped park stretches along the river, offering visitors a mix of riverside walks, green lawns, and shaded seating areas where you can pause to enjoy the calm flow of the water and the sounds of local birdlife.

The walking and cycling paths that weave through the park make it a popular spot for daily exercise, leisurely strolls, and family outings. Whether you’re out for a morning jog, an afternoon walk, or a gentle cycle, the park’s accessible trails provide a safe and scenic route right in the centre of town. The riverside setting also offers plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife or simply enjoy a moment of quiet reflection surrounded by nature.

Adding to its appeal, Triogue Linear Park is also home to Portlaoise’s dedicated Dog Park — a fully enclosed space where dogs can run, play, and socialise off-lead in a secure environment. It’s a popular gathering place for local dog owners and visitors travelling with pets, providing both exercise and community connection in one welcoming spot.

With its mix of natural beauty, practical amenities, and strong sense of community, Triogue Linear Park & Dog Park offers something for everyone. It’s a place to stretch your legs, spend time with your four-legged friends, and enjoy a slice of tranquillity in the centre of Laois’s county town. Easily accessed from multiple points across Portlaoise, this green haven invites you to slow down and experience the town from a new perspective — one that moves at the soothing pace of the river itself.
