Cotter’s Park thrives as a haven for both wildlife and plant diversity. Since its inception, our primary goal has been to cultivate a space where nature can be shared and celebrated by our visitors. We carefully designed the project to complement the existing wildlife habitat, while also enhancing it. Through our efforts, we’ve introduced hundreds of new species of plants and trees, enriching the landscape for years to come. Additionally, we’ve welcomed various breeds of waterfowl, including ducks, geese, hens and peacocks, fostering a harmonious coexistence with the park’s native waterfowl such as Canadian grey geese, coots, moorhens, and water rails. On this page, you’ll discover an array of species and breeds that have found a home within our park, both through natural migration and intentional planting efforts.
Special Thanks to Kilknock Nurseries for their ongoing advice and supply of our new plant life.
Emma Tumelty2024-04-29Cotter Park honestly surpassed all of our expectations. Booked months ago for my 40th Birthday having cancelled a Galgorm booking to try somewhere different - The right decision. A really beautiful space, exceptionally clean and well thought out. Although there are 7 cabins in total, it is both private and peaceful. The eight of us made use of the communal area which was great as it allowed us all to congregate together for the evening and felt as if we were out somewhere. I would imagine there will definitely be return visitors from our group, can't wait to go back myself!

The Black Swans & Peacocks were gorgeous. Fabulous experience & would definitely recommend. Can't wait to go back.
