South Dock Street Park

South Dock Street Park

Overview

South Dock Street Park is a small neighbourhood park in Ringsend, close to Grand Canal Dock in Dublin's south docklands. It has a small children's playground and a multi-use all-weather sports area for football and other ball games.

It is a handy stop for families in Ringsend and the docklands, with the canal basin and the bigger Ringsend Park nearby.

Getting there

The park is on South Dock Street, Dublin 4, between Grand Canal Dock and Ringsend village. Grand Canal Dock DART station is about ten minutes' walk away. The Bord Gáis Energy Theatre and Pearse Square are nearby, and the Aviva Stadium is across the Dodder.
