About

Phoenix Park is one of Europe's largest enclosed urban parks, sprawling over 1,750 acres just a few miles west of Dublin city center. Established in 1662 as a royal deer park, it remains home to a large herd of wild fallow deer, which are a popular sight for visitors. The park hosts numerous attractions, including Áras an Uachtaráin (the official residence of the President of Ireland), the US Ambassador's residence, and Dublin Zoo. It offers vast green spaces for walking, cycling, and picnics, making it a perfect escape from city life. Its sheer size and various amenities ensure there's something for everyone.
