St. Stephen’s Green

Much used by locals who have summer picnics in the park and bring children to feed the ducks on weekends, St. Stephen's Green was enclosed in 1664. The 9 hectare (22 acre) Victorian public park was laid out in its present form in 1880. Landscaped with flowerbeds, trees, a fountain and a lake, the green is dotted with memorials to eminent Dubliners. The 1887 bandstand is still the focal point for free daytime concerts in summer. St. Stephen's Green is located in the heart of Dublin city centre close to Grafton Street.
