Dublin's second-largest municipal park — home to an internationally renowned rose garden, a working city farm, a Saturday market and miles of trails to wander. Free to enter, open every day of the year.
Once part of a 202-hectare estate assembled by the Guinness family, St. Anne's Park stretches between Raheny and Clontarf on Dublin's northside. Today its follies, walled gardens and mature woodland walks are open to everyone, free of charge, all year round.
Wander tree-lined avenues that form Dublin's official municipal arboretum, with specimen trees collected over more than a century.
Discover the Herculanean Temple, the Temple of Isis, the Roman-style tower and the clocktower at the old walled garden.
Follow the chestnut walk from the rock garden down to the duck pond — a favourite spot for a quiet stroll.
A local landmark covered in tiny fairy doors — a magical stop for younger visitors exploring the woods.
Opened to the public in 1975 and dedicated as a venue for International Rose Trials in 1981, the Rose Garden holds over 1,000 rose varieties in bloom from June through September.
A small working farm inside the park where children can meet goats, sheep, poultry and more — a firm favourite for family days out, birthdays and school visits.
With 35 playing pitches, 18 hard-surface tennis courts, four boules courts, a par-3 golf course and a playground, there's space to play whatever the occasion.
Olive's Room at the Red Stables serves local wholefoods, fresh-baked treats and a daily lunch menu in the park's landmark red-brick stable yard. The Farmers' Market sets up alongside it every Saturday.
"The rose garden alone is worth the trip — but it's the quiet woodland walks and the Saturday market that keep us coming back every week." — A regular visitor, Raheny
