    Finding a parking space is an exercise on busy days but the park itself is a better place to stay.

    A beautiful park with the Tolka River running through it. The park is full of lovely, mature trees throughout. Perfect for days out and long walks. The Tram Cafe is located beside the playgrounds. Their coffee is fantastic and is well worth checking out.

    Griffith Park is located in Drumcondra, a neighborhood in the northern part of Dublin city. It is a public park covering an area of about 7 hectares (17 acres) and is popular with locals and visitors alike. The park was established in the early 20th century on land donated by a local businessman named William Griffith. It features a variety of amenities, including a children's playground, tennis courts, and a small cafΓ©. There is also a small pond with ducks and other waterfowl. One of the most notable features of Griffith Park is its rose garden, which contains over 400 varieties of roses and is particularly beautiful in the summer months when the roses are in full bloom. The park is also home to a number of mature trees, including oak, beech, and chestnut trees. Griffith Park is a peaceful and relaxing place to take a stroll, have a picnic, or just sit and enjoy the scenery. It is easily accessible from the city center by public transport and is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a while.

    The park is always crowded. The playground is bigger than most of playgrounds in the inner city, but it has a great variety of climbing materials. Beautiful park, love the river going through the middle. Vast amount of exercising equipment. On the weekends there's an ice cream truck close to the playground. Close to the Botanical gardens. Great for a walk and bike rides with little ones. Clean and accessible.

    A chilling and peaceful place close to city center. Has a cute cafe called Tram cafe. If you want to get away from hustle and bustle of the city, it's a perfect place to escape.

    Great park to walk or run. The childrens playground is very good. Has a small coffee shop with toilets.

  • 5/5 Romey E. 9 months ago on Google
    We love our local park and walk around it almost everyday. There is great nature spotting (herons, an exotic duck) and some beautiful seasonal floral displays. The cafe has good coffee and friendly staff. The kids seem to really enjoy the playground. The park could take a bit more wilderness - it was a shame to see it mowed during "no mow may" And maybe there could be somewhere for some wildflowers...

    Fantastic local park in Drumcondra (Griffith Park)with two amazing play areas for children. Play areas recently renovated with extra activities added which are great fun. Added benefit of wonderful Tram Cafe with a delicious varied menu to suit all. Beautiful walks all around while enjoying all the wildlife ducks, geese and etc. Perfect for walking your pets throughout the day.

    A nice leafy park in leafy lower Drumcondra with the Botanic Gardens not far away

  • 5/5 Ciaran G. 11 months ago on Google
    A popular, family-friendly park and children's playground just a few minutes drive north of Dublin City centre. Situated on the banks of the Tolka River in the Drumcondra neighbourhood, the park is accessible from either side of the river with 'pay and display' ticket only parking(Mon-Sun 7AM-12AM) for car users. There are well-kept footpaths along both sides of the river and at least 2 pedestrian bridges. There is also a large children / toddlers playground, several benches and a coffee shop with outdoor seating near the Drumcondra end of the park.

  • 5/5 Veronika S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best parks in the area. Small but simply amazing ❀ Let's not forget to mention the lovely playground 😊

  • 5/5 Tony S. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful well maintained local park. great place for dog walking and relaxing by the river. Could do with more bins especially up in the field area. A public toilet would also be a great addition. Excercise machines and chess table also available.

  • 5/5 Obsidian S. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not the kinda park to go to if you're a tourist. The National Botanic Gardens are what you're looking for. However, it is a really lovely place to come and sit in the sun, read a book and listen to the sounds all around. I find myself forgetting my anxieties and being present in the moment. It's a little green oasis with a river running through it. It's also easy to access if you happen to be walking along the road to a destination anyway.

  • 5/5 Sivan S. 1 year ago on Google
    A clean and green park, a river runs through it, there is a place for children to play, nice to walk.

    Nice stroll around the park. Loads of dogs......off leash mostly. Must be 20 years since my last visit.

  • 5/5 Mockie 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park to visit, it has a river with ducks, plenty of space to hang out and relax and nice flower patches to look at. Parking is a dice roll whether you'll get a free spot out front or have to cough up for pay/display nearby

  • 5/5 Amy C. 3 years ago on Google
    Very cute little park, perfect for a short walk or just to hang by the river on a sunny day

  • 3/5 tanya d. 2 years ago on Google
    The playground could do with a swing for children in wheelchair like the one shown below. The scenery is lovely

  • 5/5 James N. 2 years ago on Google
    Tranquil, peaceful,happy, full of simplicity and love. Kids playing, people walking dogs, men and woman a like enjoying recreational activities. The flowing streams and hot sunshine in the day added to a perfect moment in timeπŸ’—
