4K Scenic Phoenix Park Drive | Ireland
The Phoenix Park is one of the largest enclosed public parks in any capital city in Europe.
It was originally formed as a royal hunting Park in the 1660s and opened to the public in 1747. A large herd of wild fallow deer still remain to this day. The Park is also home to the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre, Áras an Uachtaráin, Zoological Gardens, Victorian Flower Gardens, a Biodiversity Information Centre, Phoenix Park Café and Tea Rooms. The Phoenix Park is only a mile and a half from O’Connell Street. Both passive and active recreational pursuits may be pursued such as walking, running, polo, cricket, hurling and many more. The Glen Pond is set in very scenic surrounds in the Furry Glen. There are many walks and cycle trails available to the public.
Please note that BBQs and camping are not permitted in the Phoenix Park. Also, the use of UAVs/drones is prohibited in the Phoenix Park.
The Phoenix Park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round. The main gates of the Park at Parkgate Street and Castleknock Gate are open 24 hours. The side gates to the Park are open from approximately 7am until approximately 10.45pm. Please refer to Current Road and Gate Closures for any changes to these opening times.
We wish to advise that the Playground in the People’s Gardens is currently partially closed due to maintenance works. The Playground at the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre remains open as normal during this time.
