Peaceful park in a beautiful neighborhood. This park was large, clean, and not very crowded on a Saturday morning in the middle of summer, on a gorgeous blue-sky day. Strolling through the park we found a cute little playground with some whimsical artwork/sculptures, like the giant sticking up out of the ground. We found Oscar Wilde's statue and the Jokers Chair. We continued on through the park, taking in the beautifully manicured lawns, watched as some workers set up for an event, and stopped to really appreciate the gardens and large oak trees. I couldn't believe how beautiful the wildflowers were, especially enjoying the hydrangeas that were more than I had ever seen in one place in the wild. Walking through the neighborhood, it felt safe and clean, as we walked from Merrion's square park to Fitzgerald park. We loved the architecture, the vine covered walls of the buildings, and of course all of the brightly painted doors.

I've been visiting Merrion Square for years and have seen it transformed from a rather overgrown park to an open, well maintained space. Seats and picnic tables have been added since I last visited in mid 2021. Lovely place to visit. Bright and spacious.

Happy Recovery walk 2023 what a great day and highly appreciate it and the amazing absolutely beautiful people I meet including Rory O'Connor 👊🤩 seriously Happy out 8 years and 6 months clear of heroine and 9 months clear of methadone and I am feeling amazing 🤩 today was a great day and I am so proud and feel so lucky to be alive healthy and greatfull for my path of recovery 💕💞💕😇🙏💫💕💞💕

Well stituated between dublin city center and south side suburbs. Good access to transportation facility. The space is large for family walks, pet walks, lauch breaks etc. Includeds a kids playgrounds and the greenry in the parks is superb. Alot of parking spaces available for private drivers. Strongly recommend to anyone for a visit.

Lovely Park for a Walk or to sit and have a Coffee or Lunch. Lots going on today with the VHI Women's Mini Marathon 2022. Great to see places Bustling with People even on a wet Rainy Day.

Wonderful well maintained park in Dublin city centre. Great children’s playground. Well worth a visit also to the Oscar Wilde memorial which is located opposite his old family home.

I love this park! It's clean and has beautiful green grassy picnic spots and tree lined walkways and beautiful flowers in season. This park gets busy during lunchtime with nice weather because everyone is having lunch on their break and it makes sense.

The lights were beautiful even in the lashings of rain 💕⛄🎄

Every Thursday they have all these food stalls during lunch time...between 12pm to 2pm... It's an international food variety day... So if you happened to be around the area...go and check it out... I had a 🍔 and a 🌭...and wooow...they're huge...really worth your lunch money...

I really love to jog or walk around Merrion Sq. Park. It's such a quiet and peaceful oasis in the middle of Dublin's busy south-side. Their Thursday open-air markets may resume soon. I highly recommend a regular stroll.

Awesome park! Was there on pride day :) It hosts events from time to time. Totally worth the visit to Oscar Wilde monument. The construction of the Georgian houses at Merrion Square began in 1762 and continued for 30 years.

Hidden behind its surrounding canopy of trees, this is a really nicely landscaped and ample sized park! It's a perfect place to get away from the stress of the city for lunch if you're working nearby or just to relax for a while in if you're sightseeing in this area! It also boasts a war memorial pyramid and a suitably lanquid looking statue of of Oscar Wilde, a driud like throne dedicated to Dermot Morgan and on Sundays its railings are adorned by the paintings of local artists!

Beautiful park to explore. Peaceful and it contains various statues to look at like the Oscar Wilde one.

Beautiful clean park. Plenty of benches to rest weary legs and enjoy a snack. Gorgeous flowers and the scents were heavenly.

Nice place to stroll after visiting the numerous FREE museums and galleries. Go visit Oscar Wilde. 😉 He's relaxing there too.

Festival at end of Dublin Pride parade. Great place, lots of shade (very sunny day, 78° F.)

Wonderful small park in which to take a morning stroll. Several shaded paths, with a beautiful assortment of flowers, as well as an expansive open green in the center. Very close to Trinity College as well as the starting point for the shopping corridor, which starts at the Kilkenny Store and continues towards the Temple Bar area.

I love the way it looks, I could stay up all night to watch the show

There's plenty of reviews of the park so while you're here, take time to enjoy the beautiful fanlights of the Georgian Houses which face the park. Each one is slightly different and a couple still have the original glass candle lamp 'box'🕯 if you look closely. Enjoy!

Nice city centre park with kids play area and plenty of seating areas.

Great park with open space, trails, shady spots and some nice sculptures!

This place was lit during #gaypride parade. We enjoyed it a lot . There were performers, artists, models, singers performing on stage , there were cute little stalls and vans to enjoy meals and shopping.overall nice experience

I guess this is my favourite park in the world. When they first put in the Oscar Wilde statue I hated it, but fairly soon came to love it, and now I can't really imagine the park without it. Strange to think this park was once just the garden for the posh houses around it, but now it's for us.

This is a beautiful park and a great place to relax. It's near several neighorhoods in an upper class area of Dublin.

Beautiful park for everyone and anyone. Well maintained and cared for

Great park to sit with a coffee and a good pastry and let some time pass you by. Love it!

It's a beautiful park to relax, read, etc... Oscar Wilde's statue is in a corner of the park 🇮🇪🌳🌷🍄🍁☺️

Beautiful park surrounded by Georgian houses, the park it's not too big but it has its own beauty, good for a walk and relaxing! It also has some statues, the most known is Oscar Wilde's statue 😁

Merrion Square Park is my favourite small park in Ireland. Paths meander through an oasis of lush, semi tropical looking stands of trees opening on green city parkland. Many fine pieces of modern cast sculpture on regular display. Oscar Wildes statue is situated in the northeast corner, very close to the home of his youth on Merrion Square

Ended-up there during a street food festival. Nice place to just chill in the sun ☀️ while grabbing a bite to eat

A nice fresh winter walk, beautifully decorated with the Christmas lights and at the end of the walk, rewarded with a nice crepe and a hot chocolate or mulled wine.

Very beautiful and quiet park! Nice pathways, some paved and handicapped accessable.

Great park to stroll through. Very realistic statue of Oscar Wilde that smirks at you as if he knows all your secrets. 😏

I wonderful spot to go for wander and relax

Wow! I hadn't been in town for over a year. Quick run to the office and picked up a coffee and headed to Merrion Square 💝 Beautiful day, the park was in immaculate condition and a wedding in the background 😀

Lovely lovely lovely. It was my first time experiencing the European winter and seeing all the Xmas lights. Live that its right in town and so close to Trinity college. We walked and just awed at everything🎆😂😂

One of the cleanest and chill parks in center Dublin. Not that many benches, but plenty of grass to lay on. Events also take place here once in a while.

Amazing place especially now at Christmas time

Great winter lights display during Christmas and it's free.

Nice park, but need to book appointment for visit the park in DECEMBER with the Xmas lights.. However fully booked, too bad. But looks nice from outside as well.

Lovely Christmas lights around the place and nice atmosphere.

Lovely Christmas lights. Spent decent hour with family going through them lights. Had hot chocolate and crepe stand at the other end. Would definitely go once again next time

In this beautiful and well maintained park sits the sculpture of the famous writer James Joyce. It is located in a corner of the park looking to the house where he once lived. The well- planted park also contains many other sculptures of famous Irish people. Merrion Square Park faces the National Gallery of Ireland and Leinster House, the seat of government. The park also faces the Natural History Museum and the remaining three sides of the square is surrounded by a great many Georgian houses, many of which have different and interesting features.

Really nice place to have a walk and meet friends. Since it is very accessible from city its really nice without too much crowd. And easily accessible to Grand Canal Dock, Trinity College and Stephens Green. Merrion square park is a really nice place for catching up with friends or just to spend some lone time.
