Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My parents are from the town so I am very familiar with Swan Park and have always loved it.
The flood a few years ago was devastating, and it took the council a very long time to put things right.
I love the renovation and the addition of the new part of the park but I hate the bright blue railings! Who thought this was a good idea? Surely green or even black would have been less obtrusive?
Don’t let that put you off, it’s a beautiful space, very tranquil and calming.

What a beautiful space in Buncrana. A beautifully peaceful place to walk, sit and enjoy all the hard workers of the people who curated this space. It has everything, the river, trees, multitude of plantings, carved animals, fairy houses - amazing

Beautiful place to walk now that it’s been repaired. If you bring a dog be ready to carry a pop bag around with you. There are only bins at either end of the park.

Swan park is by the town at the seaside, it is a beautiful walk by the river new wide paths have been made and platforms for fishing at the waters edge, also a new bridge so you can cross and walk back down the other side, very relaxing and when the sun is shinning through the trees even better,also when you cross the bridge to go into swan park the path to the left leads to a beautiful coastal path with great views and sandy beaches and at the end is the biggest sandy beach this a must walk.

Beautiful park at the Riverside of Buncrana River. Plenty of hidden gems to see: tiny fairy houses, very nice wee forest, stunning Bridge and even an occasional seal. Now in process of restoration after a flooding. Don't miss it

Are dogs allowed off lead around the area?

There is no law stating otherwise although it is only a narrow walkway most people keep theirs on a lead but there is a beach just a bit of a walk away where the dog can play and roam.
