St Anne's Park and Rose Gardens

St Anne’s Park in Raheny, County Dublin, is one of the largest public parks in the city, laid out across the grounds of a former estate. Broad tree-lined avenues, woodland walks and open playing fields run through the park, along with follies and estate remnants scattered among the trees.

The rose gardens are the highlight, planted with a wide range of varieties that come into their own through the summer months. Entry is free, the park is popular with walkers and runners year-round, and it connects easily to the coast at Dollymount.
