 A section of St Stephen's
Green by sue_stone
Within the stone walls you will discover nine hectares of gardens/ponds/trees/lawns.
There also some interesting sculptures to check out (as per main photo in my Dublin introduction).
It is a really pretty place to walk around or relax. Great for kids and popular with city workers as a place to eat lunch on sunny days. Leave a Comment

 St.Stephens Green by Cruefan
I do have a story about the park though, at one point my wife and I were approached by a women asking for money. I told her no, but she proceeded to follow us for a good way, the entire time begging and telling us that "Americans are all rich so she knew we had money". She eventually gave up on us, but I can see some people getting a little nervous.
However don't let this stop you from visiting the park, it's a oasis from the city. Leave a Comment

 Autumn in the Green. by BuckzLeave a Comment

St. Stephen's Green is a huge, gorgeous park at the top of Grafton Street. Winding paths, fountains, ponds, people lounging around for hours. My companion and I ended up planting ourselves in the sun on the lush green grass and took a nap...for hours. When we woke we were still surrounded by all the people that were there when we dozed off.
It seemed to have been a place that people come to just lay about, talk, hang out, sleep. It was such an amazing feeling, lying on the pillows of soft grass with the sun warming my back, the lull of hushed voices talking and laughing around me. I felt very safe here. It was a wonderful way to recharge in some beautiful scenery. Leave a Comment

Located at the top of Grafton Street is my favorite spot in Dublin - Stephen’s Green which also happens to be Ireland’s best Victorian public park.
The park is a 22 acre green sanctuary and actually it is more than a park!
It is a meeting place, for couples and singles, family spot to spend quality time with their kids but also a place that hold most of Dublin's open air, free events!
One of the more unusual aspects of the park lies on the north west corner - a garden for the blind with scented plants, which can withstand handling, and are labelled in Braille.
In the middle of the Green is a large lake with an artificial water fall, if the weather is nice you can come here to feed the ducks, or just sit down on the grass beside it and dream.
To the south side has a more open surroundings and is almost always occupied by lunching students, workers and shoppers, often band performances are held their, to the amusement of many vistors.
The Green is an unnusualy peacefull place in the middle of a vibrant and buisy city. However have in mind that is it always packed and it might be hard to find a free spot (especially if you want to sit on a bench). But if you look around and see a people in their suits sitting on the grass, why can't you?

We walked along Grafton Street to reach St Stephens Green which would be the best known parklands in Dublin.
The parkland gave me everything I was expecting of Ireland, lush vibrant green lawns and trees. The rich colour was something rarely seen in my homeland which has a much more severe climate and lack of water.
These parklands have been maintained in the original Victorian layout. Covering 9 hectares and with 3.5 km of pathways to guide you around the park it is very easy to traverse the whole park or just see and enjoy a section.
The children's playground is very popular, the ornamental lake with waterfowl and beautiful flowering gardens with a variety of trees in the background make this a very relaxing haven. Leave a Comment
