Little Island, on the Carrigrennan Walk by the Lee.

 Little Island, the Carrigrennan Walk by the Lee.

There is a hill or two here but overall, it is an easy-to-walk paved route. It has good views of much of Cork harbour,  from Jacob's Island to Fota Island. The walk itself takes you past an old tower and you also get a view of a similar structure on Fota. It is a good place to spot rabbits and birds (such as egrets). There is a car park (no fee) and an adjacent  playground.
