An oasis of calm in the middle of the city, playground, basketball courts & table tennis table (ping pong) - I do laps around the outside (500 meters approx.) for short training runs.
In one of Dublin's famous Georgian squares, a place to sit or bring the kids - children's playground with swings and rides, free to enter. 10 minutes walk. Located in the centre of Mountjoy Square, once Dublin's premier Georgian area, and comprising 1.8 hectares, this park was originally created by the Developer of the Square, Luke Gardiner, Lord Mountjoy around 1800. Sadly neglected during the 20th century it is being gradually restored to its original layout, with nice planting and plenty of seating to enjoy a quiet time in the heart of the city, and gravel paths for jogging.

Laid out in the 18th century as a private park at the centre of one of Dublin's most fashionable neighbourhoods, the park fell into neglect during the 20th century. The area around the square reached a low point in the middle of the century, when property developers wanted to tear down most of the townhouses and replace them with office blocks; architectural enthusiasts, local residents and the Guinness family managed to block it.
