About Ventry Park
A quick jaunt uphill from Stoneybatter brings you to Ventry Park, a beloved Phibsborough playground and green space that's pure joy for families. Bordering Ventry Pool and the Royal Canal, this spot on Ventry Road has been a neighbourhood staple since the 1980s, blending play areas with wildflower meadows and canal views. It's the kind of place where Stoneybatter mums meet for chats while tots burn energy.
The park hums with laughter: swings creaking, footballs thwacking goals, and the splash of the adjacent pool in summer. Perennials burst in colour along the paths, attracting bees and butterflies, while the canal adds a watery soundtrack of ducks quacking.
What to Expect
Top-notch playground with toddler zones and big-kid adventures, multi-use games area for basketball, and grassy expanses for running wild. Benches overlook the canal, and it's wheelchair-accessible throughout.
