A day in Stephen's Green Park is a must if u are in Dublin! I was lucky because the weather was beautiful.Sunny but still cold. :) and the best part is, its not really that far from the city centre. Just a 5 mins walking distance from Grafton Street. For malays, there are some halal food restaurants around the area, so its kinda convenient. Well actually, to be honest, i was quite surprised to know theres a lot of Halal Restaurants in Dublin. :) Feels at home! (everyday makan nasi! aiyark! )
Anyways, here are some info of St Stephen's Green Park :
Ireland's best known Victorian public park. Re-opened by Lord Ardilaun in 1880 for the citizens of Dublin. This 9 hectare / 22 acre park has been maintained in the original Victorian layout with extensive perimeter tree and shrub planting, spectacular spring and summer Victorian bedding. The herbaceous border also provides colour from early spring to late autumn. Sanctuary from inclement weather can be obtained in the Victorian lakeside shelter or in the Victorian Swiss shelters in the center of the park.
Over 3.5 km of pathways are accessible for all users. The waterfall and Pulham rock work on the western side of the green are worth of a visit likewise the ornamental lake which provides a home for waterfowl and a garden for the visually impaired. A number of sculptures are located throughout the green. A children's playground is a popular attraction of the park. Lunchtime concerts are performed during the summer months.
till i blog again,
xoxo
