Tolka Valley Park

Tolka Valley Park follows the River Tolka near Blanchardstown in County Dublin, a stretch of green space with riverside paths, meadows and wooded sections. It is used mainly by local walkers, runners and cyclists, and forms part of a chain of parkland along the river valley.

The park is a good place to see everyday Irish wildlife, with birdlife along the water and plenty of open ground for children. Access is free, paths are generally level, and it makes a quiet contrast to the busier city-centre parks.
