St Cormac’s Park, built by Bord na Móna in 1950, is considered a unique feature in the town of Kilcormac, Co. Offaly. Well maintained and with wide, open spaces, the attractive estate is a source of pride and interest for the local community. This is also an indication of the strong link between the community and the nearby boglands. It has a total of 104 houses and is one of the village schemes administered by the Government to Bord Na Móna in the 1950s.
Bord na Móna built 630 houses in the various village schemes, ranging from 156 in Coill Dubh to 8 in Ballivor, Co. Meath. Other village schemes like St Cormac’s Park include Lanesboro, Cloontuskert, and Coill Dubh, Newbridge and Crossmolina.
Laid out in semi-circular curved terraces, the houses of St Cormac’s Park overlook significant open areas that are unique to this development and indeed, Kilcormac. These spaces are locally significant and seen as an important asset to the community.
