St Stephen’s Green Park (also known as Stephen’s Green) is a historical park located at the center of Dublin. The size of this square shaped park is 22 acres. This is located near Grafton street, and Stephen’s green shopping centre (named after the park). This park is always busy with crowd as it is very easy to access. A tourist who comes to the Grafton street for shopping uses to pay a visit to the park as well. Besides the tourists lot of local use to come here. This famous park of Dublin was created in 1664.
I’ve visited the St Stephen’s Green park for the first time after the St Patrick day’s parade. It was during the spring time and the park was bloomed with plenty of spring flowers including tulips and daffodils. After that I’ve gone to the park several times, and passed beside the park few more times.
The small pond inside the park attracts lot of seagulls. If anyone interested to feed the bird would be a nice place for them. There is a children playground available inside the park. But I liked the most of the park are the statues (some were full, some were bust). They were the famous people from Ireland (such figures are Countess Constance Markievicz, Arthur Guinness, etc). Although it didn’t have detail about those people there. But you could easily pick the name from there and search in internet to dig more later.
I like history that’s why I liked the park. I liked it more when I read more about this from the park’s website. The park remains open every day all around the year until the sunset. It doesn’t require any fee to visit the park as well. If you are planning for your Dublin trip, don’t return back without visiting the park.
