About Mountjoy Square Park
A brisk 20-minute stride east from Stoneybatter lands you in the elegant heart of Mountjoy Square Park, a Georgian gem in Dublin's Northside. Laid out in 1792 as part of Luke Gardiner's vision, this elevated square park is ringed by handsome red-brick terraces now housing artists and professionals. For Stoneybatter locals, it's an easy extension of our green scene, offering manicured lawns, tennis courts, and a vibrant community vibe.
Restored in the 1990s, it gleams with herbaceous borders, mature chestnuts shedding conkers in autumn, and the fresh tang of sea air from nearby Parnell Square. Street performers busk on sunny days, blending with yoga classes and chess players under the trees.
What to Expect
Perfectly tended gardens with rose beds, playground for under-5s, basketball courts, and all-weather paths. Benches invite lingering, and it's a hub for events like outdoor theatre.
