The People's Park, in Pery Square, is the principal park in Limerick City, located just west of Colbert Station and bus terminal. The Park was initially developed as part of the Pery Square development in the Newtown Pery area of central Limerick. Ireland's Georgian economy began to decline with the onset of the Great Irish Famine and only one terrace of the square was ever completed funds for the project ran out before this could be completed. The park was officially opened in 1877, it was given to the People of Limerick in honour of Richard Russell, a prominent local businessman.
