Phoenix Park
The Phoenix Park is home to a herd of approximately 600 fallow deer and it is a real treat and thrill to see these beautiful creatures in the park. It is also the site of the Phoenix Park Nature Trail, which takes around 1 hour to complete. There are few designated stops along that route that highlight the flora and fauna of the park. Enjoy and play in the People’s Gardens Playground. This vast green carpet is the perfect place for lazing on a sunny afternoon while enjoying a picnic. Bike tour is one of the most exciting way to explore the wonders of the park. There are plenty of cycle lanes and off-road tracks in the park for the whole family to enjoy. Enjoy the beautiful Victorian Tea Room, which offers hot and cold dishes, snacks and freshly baked treats and was built in 1896.
