St. Stephen’s Green is Ireland’s best-known Victorian Public Park and is adjacent to one of Dublin’s main shopping streets, Grafton Street. Covering 9 hectares the park has been maintained in the original Victorian layout, centred on a formal garden with plants providing spectacular colour from early spring to late Autumn.

Over 3.5km of pathways are accessible to all users. A large lake fed by an artificial waterfall is home to ducks and other waterfowl.

One of the more unusual aspects of the park is a garden for the blind with scented plants, which can withstand handling and are labelled in Braille.

Several sculptures are located throughout the garden, and there is a children’s playground.
