    A beautiful park with nice flower garden inside and a little mace for kids. Just in the heart of Dublin, a peaceful location to sit down or for a small walks. It do get busy on sunny days, people in their circle of picnics. I really enjoy going here, good place for reading. From the busy streets outside to silent atmosphere. Highly recommended this place for you to visit.

    This might be my favorite garden, anywhere. It has a beautiful layout that's a mix of flat greens, statuary, fountains, an enclosed rose garden, beautiful rocks, shaded areas, and walking paths. It's quiet and a great place to be alone or with a loved one. Good access, centrally located. Extremely highly recommended!

    Absolutely stunning! I liked the garden layout , the waterfall and the two gates on its left and right looked so beautiful also the two fountains facing each other made the garden design look even more interesting! I highly recommend visiting it it’s a lovely experience specially if you have kids they will like how wide the garden is and they can run and enjoy the little maze.

    I visited this park today and it was truly beautiful. The waterfall present there is absolutely stunning in appearance, and the seating around it is very relaxing. The park is abundant with green spaces, providing a perfect spot for someone to sit, read a book, or listen to music. It's a lovely place for all these activities.

    Amazing park, quiet enough even though it's right in Dublin's center. Loads of statues among beautiful greenery and the waterfall is definitely a plus!

    Little gem hidden behind the walls in the city centre. Love the waterfall and all the old statues. Great place to have a lunch on a bench at a park away from all the hustle and bustle.

    Lovely and peaceful park, well worth the walk to find it. A lot of work obviously goes into it. Sadly the water fall wasn't working which was the main reason for me going, perhaps next time πŸ™„

    This is a simple, yet wonderful park. Simple in the fact that it's not an ornate area with lots of small gardens, it rather has larger open lawns, with well designed pathways, and a wonderful fountain and pond. There are a number of convenient benches on the pathways for seating, with statues & monuments throughout. Highly recommended for couples going on a stroll. The centre stone pebble pathways do make it more difficult with a pram, but the perimeter of the park has more solid pathways.

    Nice place to relax, don’t expect big waterfall it’s tiny and often is off. Although really nice park to chill out with friends.

    Great spot. Nice for an evening stroll or in this case for the taste of Dublin festival. Free entry and pretty clean for a city park.

    While in Dublin, I stopped at this park and enjoyed spending about an hour here walking around and enjoying a nice spring day. Definitely on the smaller side but a good alternative to St. Stephen's Green, which is right down the road on a nice day.

    A real hidden gem. I can't believe all the years I lived and worked in Dublin and was out socialising on Harcourt Street oblivious to this little hidden gem.

    Beautiful garden with a waterfall, fountain centrepieces, nursery, and seating areas. The garden is child and pet friendly as it has archery grounds. There’s also a heritage area.

    Beautiful,beautiful and beautiful. This is out of the main hustle and bustle of the city but super easy to get to by walking. It took us about 25 minutes to walk from Grafton Street. It's a beautiful park so take a rest on the grass or on the bench( both are right in front of the waterfall.

    When there for the waterfall but sadly wasn’t on during the time I was there (Weekend 4:30pm). Nevertheless, did a quick walk around the park. Nothing special in terms of scenery, but definitely a great place to relax due to the vast seating areas.

  • 5/5 Noel c. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely love this place. For peace and quiet just stroll around or just grab a seat. And chill. As your walking round you'll notice some sculpture in and around the park like hidden in places. Great place

  • 5/5 Liam οΏ½. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful garden/park. Really nice roses in a beautiful display. Very clean. The sundial with the maze is really nice and something that children and adults alike would likely love. The waterfall adds a really nice background sound in comparison to the city noise. It's quiet in comparison to Stephen's green (noise & people), would definitely recommend if you want some quiet and a taste of nature in the middle of town.

    Currently being repaired & renovated Summer times would be best time to enjoy the green space in the city centre

  • 5/5 Micheal P. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw The Pixies here last weekend- 1st time in The Iveagh Gardens- WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SETTING! The weather and the wonderful music helped but what a venue

  • 5/5 Maeve t. 1 year ago on Google
    Love this space within the city centre especially for a music gig. It's the perfect setting for a summer gig as it's close to so many bars for a few drinks beforehand and is small enough that it's intimate but not so small that you don't feel like you can dance and sing etc. Always enjoy the summer gigs here!

    Visited in early April. Quiet Sunday morning. Liked the peace and quietness. Seemed like it could use a little clean up, but it worked for what it was. Check it out if you are passing by or staying nearby. Good when seeking a peaceful short walk. πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈπŸ§˜πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

    So beautiful and tidy. Might be crowded during summertime. ❀️

  • 5/5 Andrej T. 2 years ago on Google
    It's much more secluded and not as crowded as Stephen Green. It's a lovely place to visit when the weather us right. There's rose garden and quite a few "statues" around and few lovely meadows. Small hedge labirint is also interesting, especially for young ones. If you've had enough with crows, I highly recommend this park.

    First time to visit was the Imelda May concert where the world famous Rolling Stone guitarist Ronnie Woods came out to play for a few tracks. Will return to see the gardens in their natural state....

  • 5/5 Joana L. 7 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite places to go enjoy a book on a sunny day. Very underrated when compared to St. Stephen's Green, as you will find this place a lot more polished and quiet and the other park. My favourite concert ever was also held there, it's just a great place!

  • 3/5 Sara A. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a nice little park but the waterfall isn't on. I don't think it's been on for quite some time due to the amount of Moss and how murky and tainted the water is.

  • 5/5 Cyril M. 2 years ago on Google
    Fabulous to experience an outdoor event. Well organised and designed given restrictions in place

  • 5/5 MJ O. 2 years ago on Google
    What a gorgeous Gem in the city. If you want a bit of calm in your day this is a place to find just that. This is a wonderful park for a walk or just to sit and allow a bit of time pass. There is a beautiful waterfall to add some sounds of far away places. I think it is turned off about 3 in the afternoon.

    Such a beautiful, tranquil park that not a lot of people know it is there. It is not far from St Stephen's Green Park.

  • 4/5 Brian F. 2 years ago on Google
    Visiting Taste of Dublin. Great live band but very disappointed with the food element. Mostly beer and alcohol franchises and little on offer from a food tasting and sampling point of view. Wouldn't return.

  • 5/5 Matthew S. 2 years ago on Google
    One of Dublin hidden gems. Beautiful on a sunny day when you want to get away from the busy City Centre. Lovely area for family picnics
