Public Places And Spaces
Here in Dublin, our public parks occupy a prized and important place in our city and county. We are deeply fortunate to be able to celebrate such a great diversity of parks and gardens close to the heart of the city. These range from the elegance of our famous Georgian squares such as Merrion Square to the beauty of the Botanic Gardens and the wide open spaces of the Phoenix Park. You need only look into St. Stephen’s Green on a sunny afternoon or take a stroll around the Botanic Gardens, as I often do, to see the popularity and the value of parks for the urban population. In this busy world, we all need space, in the literal as well as the physical sense, to pause, take a deep breath and delight in the natural world. It's all here at "The Streets Of Dublin".
