    The gate into Stephen's Green, Fusilier's Arch is the purpose built monument commemorating the hundreds of thousands Royal Dublin Fusiliers who lost their lives in the Anglo-Boer war at the turn of the last century. Because the Royal Dublin Fusiliers was an infantry regiment of the British Army and the soldiers fought on the side of the dominant British regime against the colonist, many Dubliners today still call this monument by the name Traitors' Arch.

    Up until 1663, St. Stephen's Green was a 60-acre marshy common where livestock freely grazed. In 1663, the property was divided into lots for housing developments and the inner green was only accessible to the area's residents. This seclusion remained for over two centuries. In 1877, Lord Ardilaun (former Sir Arthur Edward Guinness) procured an Act of Parliament forcing it to open up to the public once again. He then supplied the funds for new landscaping including the gardens, waterfalls, and lake. The Green today measures 22 acres. It is an oasis of trees, flowers, fountains, lake, waterfalls, green lawns, benches, statues, ducks, and pigeons. Note: The bridge in The Green is the original O'Connell Bridge. The bridge over the Liffey was constructed 80 years earlier and was named Carlisle Bridge, only to be changed to O’Connell when the statue of the liberator was installed.

    St Stephen's green is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Dublin. 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.

    St. Stephens Green is a great place to go after a long day of walking and shopping around Dublin. there are plenty of benches to sit on and just relax between rounds of touristy like activities. 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.

    St Stephens green is a 27 acre park in the middle of Dublin City. The park has many statues including memorials to Yeats and James Joyce. Its a great place to go in the summer for people watching or having lunch or to feed the ducks in the lake and wander around beautiful display of flowers and fountains. Hundreds of years ago it was open land where public whippings, burnings and hangings took place. The park is open according to daylight hours. Not dangerous, however do take the usual precautions.

    Oh we had such a laugh in St Stephens green, apart from strolling around the lovely parks and lakes, we sat and relaxed on hte grass and watched the world go by.....and a few weirdos too hehehe! Its a perfect place to go on a hot day if youre looking for a place to picnic or just chill out. The only disappointment was the state of some of the lakes......hmmmmm.....pond scum.......ugh!

    Continue up Dawson St. At the top is St Stephen's Green. The green is well worth a wander, for its Flowers, walks and sculptures. Leave the Green through the large arch (on the corner to your left as you enter) and that will bring you straight to Grafton St, Which is where I will leave you.

    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.

    At the top of Grafton Street, you'll find this large and somewhat labyrinthine park. If you stroll around like I did, you might see find yourself all alone on a winding path. I noticed a few bums lurking in the bushes, so I don't recommend going here after dark, but it's well kept and there are some nice areas for a picnic.

    St Stephens Green is the cities favourite central park (much more accessible than the bigger Phoenix Park). This is where Dubliners come to sprawl on the grass at lunchtime and sunbathe (in the Summer it is possible sometimes ;)
