Free to enter; no admission fee for the park. Save on parking charges by taking Dublin Bus or the Luas and avoid race days when parking fees apply.

About
Fatti rapidi: Wide grass slopes and winding, tree-lined paths make it a favorite spot for joggers, dog walkers, and families on sunny afternoons. Listen for the loud caw of rooks in the tall beech trees and watch mallards paddling in the small ornamental pond beside the playground.
Punti salienti: A tight murmuration of starlings can appear above the meadow at dusk, folding the sky into a living black ribbon that then scatters into glittering points. Sit on the old stone bench after rain and breathe the sharp scent of wet earth and moss while the pond mirrors an upside-down canopy, a quietly cinematic scene photographers and local dog-walkers swear by.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for muddy paths after rain.
- Bring a blanket and head to the pond at golden hour for the best photos.
- Avoid the area closest to the racecourse on event days unless attending, it gets very busy.
- Check the forecast and bring a windproof layer for exposed stretches.
