    Lovely park with a nice little lake and a playground for the small ones. The little lake has many ducks, ducklings and some other nice birds I don't know the names. It's lovely on a sunny day but it doesn't have facilities like bathrooms. This is not good when having a playground as kids need to go to the loo every so often. Apart from that, it's a nice place.

    It's a nice park and I've been there many times. There is a new playground in the park and I'm sure the children will be thrilled. I think the playground was opened in earlier this year or maybe last year but I am not sure. It's very hard to remember you know.

    Great little enclave just off a busy street:) Of historic significance too being the spot where Richard Crosbie took off from on Ireland's first ever balloon flight.

    On the city side of Ranelagh village. Pond full of ducks and short walk around the pond. Statue to Richard Crosbie, first manned flight of a hydrogen air balloon from Ranelagh to Clontarf.

    A very small little park that's great for a little detour or to meet up with friends and family on a nice day. Has a little playground for children. The park is very well maintained and is a breath of fresh air for anyone who wishes to stop by at Ranelagh.

    Very calm and unique park. It’s a little hidden making it even more special. The playground is one of the best around for under 2yrs old kids.

    Lovely little neighbourhood park - a perfect place to chill in on a hot summers day. Sipping iced coffee from a local cafe, people watching, enjoying the mallards, moorhens & even the odd heron in the pond.

    Lovely little park, it's so beautiful I wish we had one such in Churchtown. It has pond, ducks, benches, flowers perfect for a day visit. Loved it!!!!
  • 5/5 Síle F. 2 years ago on Google
    Hidden gem in the village. Always clean and tidy with a bit going on. Feels safe and family friendly
  • 2/5 Not s. 2 years ago on Google
    Bit dirty. Too many lose dog's. Really need to deal with that. At least ask people not to let them sit or walk on the benches. Pond cold do with a clean. Still, an oasis of calm in Ranelagh.

    Perfect hidden place. It is quiet and peaceful. Has a little pond with ducks and some seagulls. It also has a playground for the little ones. I had lovely reading time there 💛

  • 5/5 Eva 2 years ago on Google
    The park has a lovely atmosphere and is a lovely hideaway beside the busy main road in Ranelagh. Very nice place for a little stroll or for having a picnic.
  • 5/5 Thomas R. 3 years ago on Google
    Lovely little spot that’s kind of hidden and overlooked by most people visiting the area. Always full of lots of different types of species of birds. Beautiful cranes often live there. Duck families as well. It’s never too crowded either and spot on one of the benches is usually to be found.

    Lovely old fashioned Park in a trendy part of Dublin, for the authentically cool local experience get a Nick's coffee and if you can't sit in their alleyway sit in the park and watch the Ducks and Pigeons do what ducks and pigeons do!

    Nice and hidden - a breath of fresh air from the motorist hell that is Ranelagh village. So nice to sit down and read a book in, and there is a coffee shops just by the Luas stop beside the park entrance to grab something warm to have while in the park!

👍👍 Fantastic gardens, the staff/gardeners/caretakers I talked to were lovely people, I could find a place to sit and enjoy.
