War Memorial Gardens, Dublin

Beautiful place to visit. Unfortunately we visited in the winter so flowers were long gone but the structures there are so beautiful and the history behind them will fascinate you. This is definitely a place to visit in the warmer months but quite a peaceful walk in the colder months. Bring a picnic and a blanket. The seclusion is amazing and so peaceful - and yet so close to the inner city. For dog walkers there is a perfect trail along the canal that is quite long.

This park is absolutely beautiful. People are walking and playing with their dogs peacefully. You can calm your mind by watching the amazing view or just taking a long walk. It’s just lovely

I loved this park , it has such beautiful geometric set up. We had a pic there before walking up to the rose garden, which is such a gem. Beautifully kept with benches in between. It felt very cosy and fairytaleish. As far as parks go I think this one is worth a visit!

Very calm and peaceful garden. I liked to see people doing canoe. You can have your own breakfast here and start to visit touristic points around here.

Irish National War Memorial Gardens is a beautiful place to be. I love the character of this place. It is both serene and elegant. No matter the amount of people in it, it maintains a calming and comforting atmosphere. I see plenty of people visiting this place with their pets, mostly for walks. The terrain is slightly elevated in one corner of the garden, giving a perfect viewing angle to take a look at the entire area. On one side, the garden extends as far as the bank of river Liffey. One could continue to walk along the river bank as far as Chapelizod. It is a walking path also shared by cyclists and therefore, one needs to be cautious about that. There are two sunken rose gardens with ponds at their centre. The symmetrical design is evident when one gets to the actual memorial, for it stands in between the two sunken gardens. I love visiting this place. I feel that it is the perfect honour one could give to a war hero – making people feel safe and peaceful even in their death. The comfort enjoyed by frequent visitors to this place is enough merit for these heroes to walk peacefully to their next level of existence, whatever it may be according to their belief.
