Marlay Park Playground — Attraction in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown

. Very high class fraternity frequent here. Respectable, refined, educated, non aggressive. Nice , well spoken people. The gardens are beautifully manicured during the summer, that is until the rich kids descend for the Marley Park concerts. Free parking.

However, on the negative side, there can be a lot of screeching brats there sometimes, particularly at the weekends, scampering around annoying everyone, (especially the terrified dogs ), while their air headed young mothers go "aaaahh..." , instead of keeping the wailing rugrats under control.

Nonetheless, a highly recommended & pleasant park, especially in summer. But try avoid the packed weekends.

Enjoy !

There's also toilets within the playground and coffee shop just nearby. Besides the main playground you could easily spend half a day in Marlay park, there's a few shops, plenty of green space (ideal for walks) and another (smaller) playground near the south entrance. There's also the Marlay Park Market on weekends. Bus 16 from the city center will drop you just in front of...

Well today it was 3 deg cel pissing rain and a wind that would cut through you for a short cut .

Despite all these wows I'd highly recommend Marlay park...
