    Great area, well maintained and clean, specially now that administration added bathroom (toilets) which is something unique around the area. I totally recommend 100%.

    Hi I'm a member of the walled gardens were I give my time on a monthly basis to help maintain the landscaping & plantations. I've been visiting Santry park daily for many years and I've made many friends with the public who like me, come here regularly to visit this wonderful place. what i like about this park is how the landscape workers leave areas of wild grass to grow which attracts wildlife. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like the busy & noisy footpaths you'll find the grass walks around the park are more peaceful and tranquil. I use organic waste to create Art. In the forest part there is a tee which fell over 10 years ago. The tree has a lovely arch which was covered up by thorny weeds over the years. So I decided this year 2023 to spend 20 minutes each time I visit to cut back the weeds using a stick. I'm also collecting logs, twigs & sticks to make a non muddy / natural footpath which leads to the tree ' Lovers Tree Arch ' ! The tree Arch will make a good shelter from the rains. My thoughts on parks in Dublin. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TREES IN DUBLIN PARKS. I'd like to see more trees planted in all parks. If you look on google maps at all of the parks you'll notice most of our parks are largely sterile grass fields and football pitches. (Not everyone plays football and some kids prefer exploring nature. We must plant more trees to attract more diverse nature and to help reduce our C02 emissions. Wildlife must come first before sterilized grass fields. Come visit the walled gardens. Hours: Saturday 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Sunday 11 a.m.–1 p.m. Monday Closed Tuesday Closed Wednesday 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday 2–6 p.m. Friday 2–6 p.m. Hours may change. Depending : Bank holidays / Seasons & weather conditions. Please Support Our nature. To attract more wildlife, We must plant more various tree species. You can too.

    I couldn't imagine how big this park is until I went through it! 👍 You can find some ducks and swans which love to be fed by the visitors. And if you're lucky, you could see some Irish hares hopping from one bush to another. 🐇

    Such a serene park. The openess of the area, the available work out stations, the very old trees made us almost stay in ireland

    I work less ten minutes from here and I’m ashamed to say today was the first day I went in. Wow. A little green sanctuary hidden in the suburbs. There’s loads of exercise equipment scattered throughout the park. There’s loads of bench’s and a massive children’s playground. I really liked the small lake . Swans living there. There is a bike path and loads of room for joggers and walkers. I saw five public toilets, all are wheelchair accessible. I spoke to a park ranger Pat . A really nice guy. He said he was working there twelve years. You can tell he’s into it. Over all it was a great visit and I’ll be back soon to cycle it.

    Santry Park is a great and peaceful park! It has beautiful trees. Really, beautiful, I mean it. They are gorgeously set in the middle of the park. The grass is very well maintained and the park is very clean overall. You will not find places to eat inside the park, I mean, you can't buy food or drinks anywhere. It's mostly frequented by locals and people transiting from Northwood to Swords Road. I don't think there is much touristic value on this site, maybe that's why it's so interesting, beautiful and clean. Fantastic place to have a picnic or walk your dog.

    Small but very lovely park. Great for a run or walk; pretty quiet throughout the day. Might be muddy after rain. Playground and toilets are available, almost no bins around. Check the timing of car park as you might get stuck. Alternatively, can park near Centra.

    This is a nice little park and surrounding area. The playground itself is nice and clean, has toilets onsite (important) and has plenty of stuff for kids of all ages, including - Monkey Bars - Tyre Swing - Swings X2 - Benches - Bike merry go round and lots of other bits. The kids love it, and almost always go for a walk in the woods afterward. Be careful, when raining, there is always a little flooding in the grass across from the playground, so you cant take a shortcut across the grass to the car park.

    I went here in evening time and I was literally mesmerized after seeing the view and greenery. It's so calm and so beautiful. So many trees around and chairs as well. It's good for weekends and also for morning and evening walk and run.

    Beautiful park. Excellent enclosed playground for the wee ones. New toilet facilities and water station. Kept in beautiful condition. A rare gem. Well worth a visit. Lots of seats too for a rest along the way.

  • 4/5 Cael O. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of spaces to walk. Bathrooms are always locked. Lot of people with their dogs off-lead, if that's a concern, but usually able to keep clear of them.

    A diamond in the rough that is suburban living. Excellent spot for peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. Facilities are well maintained. Well worth a visit.

  • 4/5 Sreeram H. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice and Comfortable place to have a walk or your daily cardio exercises. And its a perfect place to spend some time with your children and family. Good green landscapes, trees and the small lake gives a nice ambience. There are lots of good machines for workout too. Nice parking, easily accessible. But don't plan to come when it's late or light is gone. This place will be in under control of some anti-social groups who is completely addicted to drugs and ready to attack anyone. So it's not a safe place in late times. Even in the evenings, some guys use to smoke weed and drink alcohol sitting in the benches even at the time of small children playing around those places. Whoever comes as a tourist, student or for work, please keep in mind that don't be so confident to walk around this park in late evenings. Since there is no proper security services provided, nobody could help you if something happened.

  • 5/5 Jinu I. 8 months ago on Google
    Santry park is the best park for a walk.. for exercise, for cycling. The small pond is so peaceful. The lawn is well maintained. The kids play are is well managed and clean at all times. I had lost my bag in the park and the Santry park ranger Dave found it and left it at my address. He was so kind and thoughtful of that. Really appreciate the effort.

    Great park, lovely scenery. Good for a picnic or excercising, has a calisthenics park. Nice lake and gardens. Nice to take the kids to as well

  • 5/5 catherine H. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fabulous park , I'm a member of the Heritage walled garden up at the top. All welcome to join..very reasonable at €10 for retired and €20 for working per year. Share the work only if you can and you can certainly share the produce. Warning: a lot of crack and banter and of course the tea and cakes. Absolutely love it!

    A huge park in North Dublin where you can do your activities such as walking , running or even just relaxing , etc. Just to remind the visitors that barbecue is not allowed.

  • 5/5 Geraldine D. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely park to walk around in the Santry area. Walled community garden at back, which we walked around. Apple trees were loaded with apples (no, you can't pick them). Lovely pond and flowers growing there.

  • 5/5 Will M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great Park in such a hustle and bustle area. Huge to. Recently added much better toilets and increased park ranger patrols making it a better safer place also. The playground is great my kids loves it. So much to explore from old building to walled gardens the kids don't get bored easily. It also has access to the pond by the hotel which is home to some lovely birds including some swans. But even just for a walk or a cycle it's a great little park to explore.
