Summary
| Description |
Located beside St. Patrick's Cathedral, tradition has it that St. Patrick baptised the first Irish Christians there with water from the River Poddle which flows underground. Originally part of the slums near the cathedral (the old "Liberties"), the grounds were redeveloped as parkland in the 19th and 20th century. Lord Iveagh had the slum housing torn down in 1897 and created a park, this was taken over by the Dublin Corporation in the 1920s. The park provides an ideal setting for the cathedral and recent additions in 1988 include a Literary Parade highlighting the works of Swift, Mangan, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats, Synge, O'Casey, Joyce, Behan, Beckett, Clarke, Dillon and the Liberty Bell Sculpture. There is also a childrens playground. |
