Hi I'm a member of the walled gardens were I give my time on a monthly basis to help maintain the landscaping & plantations. I've been visiting Santry park daily for many years and I've made many friends with the public who like me, come here regularly to visit this wonderful place. what i like about this park is how the landscape workers leave areas of wild grass to grow which attracts wildlife. If you're the kind of person who doesn't like the busy & noisy footpaths you'll find the grass walks around the park are more peaceful and tranquil. I use organic waste to create Art. In the forest part there is a tee which fell over 10 years ago. The tree has a lovely arch which was covered up by thorny weeds over the years. So I decided this year 2023 to spend 20 minutes each time I visit to cut back the weeds using a stick. I'm also collecting logs, twigs & sticks to make a non muddy / natural footpath which leads to the tree ' Lovers Tree Arch ' ! The tree Arch will make a good shelter from the rains. My thoughts on parks in Dublin. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH TREES IN DUBLIN PARKS. I'd like to see more trees planted in all parks. If you look on google maps at all of the parks you'll notice most of our parks are largely sterile grass fields and football pitches. (Not everyone plays football and some kids prefer exploring nature. We must plant more trees to attract more diverse nature and to help reduce our C02 emissions. Wildlife must come first before sterilized grass fields. Come visit the walled gardens.

Read moreNice and Comfortable place to have a walk or your daily cardio exercises. And its a perfect place to spend some time with your children and family. Good green landscapes, trees and the small lake gives a nice ambience. There are lots of good machines for workout too. Nice parking, easily accessible.
But don't plan to come when it's late or light is gone. This place will be in under control of some anti-social groups who is completely addicted to drugs and ready to attack anyone. So it's not a safe place in late times. Even in the evenings, some guys use to smoke weed and drink alcohol sitting in the benches even at the time of small children playing around those places.
Whoever comes as a tourist, student or for work, please keep in mind that don't be so confident to walk around this park in late evenings. Since there is no proper security services provided, nobody could help you if...
