Be warned, to walk all the way through takes about an hour and there are no busses that stop in the park- they only drive through and stop either side, but the park itself is beautiful and easy to spend that much time wandering in, the deer are usually in the upper end of the park after the cricket field, there are a few food carts dotted around and also Dublin zoo located in the park
I went for a walk in Phoenix Park in Dublin this morning (January 18, 2023) and saw beautiful scenery. The area near the lake was covered with frost. You can imagine how cold the weather was, but it was really worth a visit. .
Phoenix Park, located on the edge of the city, is a very large urban green space. This park has a history of more than 350 years and is the largest urban park in Western Europe. The Presidential Palace, Dublin Zoo, and the residence of the US Ambassador to Ireland are all located in this park. Although Dublin in June is still a bit chilly, the temperature is about the same as in spring in Shanghai. Everything is revived and flowers are blooming. The big white swan in the river is followed by a group of gray babies. This is the first time we have seen a little swan. It is very cute. The most conspicuous landmark of Phoenix Park is a huge obelisk.

Wonderful Park with various lovely plants and lots of animals like turtles, ponies and tropical birds. The prices in my opinion are great for what you get and it was surprisingly empty on a Sunday so we could relax and take everything in without feeling rushed.
Beautiful environment Phoenix Park, especially in autumn, green lawns, five-color leaves intersect, small squirrels and deer leisurely swim among them, and many runners. Not far from the National Zoo of Ireland, Phoenix Park is said to be the largest urban green space in Europe, and the zoo is also the first zoo in the world. Can't verify the true or false, but it is definitely a worthwhile trip.
Phoenix Park has a pleasant view. There are two natural lakes. The zoo is built around the lake. The swans and swans are leisurely on the water. Although it has undergone centuries of changes, it still maintains the characteristics of the 17th century deer garden. The edge of the park is a canyon covered with dense forest, and close to the city center, there are 15 acres of green grass flat, naturally stocking hundreds of fawns
