Why Phoenix Park matters
Phoenix Park is huge, and that is the point. It is one of the biggest walled city parks in Europe, with wide open grassland, tree-lined avenues and herds of fallow deer that roam freely. You can cycle, picnic or simply walk. It is also the setting for the official residence of the president.
Talking points
- Wild deer roam in the park.
- It is much bigger than most city parks.
- Dublin Zoo is inside.
