    Phoenix Park is a place not to be missed. It is an immense park in the heart of Dublin. It's said to be the largest park in a metropolitan area in all Europe.

    It hosts long roadsfor you to run, walk, ride a bike or drive (it's big enough even for a few minutes drive). You could sit down in the varied landscapes, you have sports pitches, huge lawns and trees.

    An absolute heart warming surprise is the deers living in the middle of the park. Avoid feeding and invading their life too much. They are lovely and are an example coexistence in the country's biggest city.

    Definitely recommended.

    I went for a walk with my mum and it was wonerful. The down side of the walk was the bit where the path way was cut off. I think that the county council are doing some work. I walked for 55 minutes. I was disgusted by the app map my walk it showed a shorter distance on my phone. 5 out of 5 but please get the path way cleared the fence is an eye sore. From an obese woman but a keen walker.

    A super park that’s kept many of us locals healthy and sane during lockdown.

    Great walks, lots of bird life, friendly walkers, fantastic facilities ( Incl tennis club, playing fields, skate park etc).

    Pickup a coffee or sandwich for an outdoor picnic ( recommend foam or saltwater grocery both in Terenure) or get an ice cream from the weekend in park van or check out the Weekend (Saturday) food market.

    Also visit Dodder park & enjoy a wonderful riverside walk between the 2 parks.

    A big park to Stroll around. The Autumn - season is quite colourful to see on this park. There are buses from across the city taking anyone to this place - there are 3-4 bus tops around the park and near to the Clontarf DART station.

    A welcome bucolic green within suburbia, it is an enhancing space of nature. Numerous pathways through the grandly standing trees are gorgeous avenues for bracing ambles.

    Adjacent to the university, it is popular with the community and walkers with or without canine friends. Numerous activities are provided, including sports and a playground.

    It was interesting to learn that it began life as the gardens and grounds of Hampstead House, built probably in the early 1700s. It received its name from the similarly placed London Hampstead Heath.

    In the first half of the 19th century an Institute of Agriculture was established. This was renamed in honour of Prince Albert after his and the Queen’s 1853 visit.

    Was walking around the city and came across this park. Took a quick stop to enjoy. Not worth an actual purposeful trip here.

    In the shade a bit, so it's not the best place to go if it's sunny. There are a lot of trees, but the playground is the best equipped for the area. Definitely worth a visit with the children.
