ST PATRICK'S PUBLIC PARK [BESIDE THE FAMOUS AND HISTORIC CATHEDRAL]
Created through the vision and funding of the Guinness family during Dublin's late 19th and early 20th-century redevelopment, St Patrick's Park offers a meticulously designed green space adjacent to St Patrick's Cathedral. Officially opened by King Edward VII in July 1902, the park is defined by its geometric landscaping, a testament to the work of Mr. Crasp of Chester and engineer Mr. Arthur Dudgeon. Bordered by Patrick Street, Bull Alley, and Bride Street, the park serves as a harmonious setting for both the cathedral and the Iveagh Play Centre. Key features include two Victorian stone fountains, positioned along the park's central axis, and Vivienne Roche's contemporary steel bell sculpture. A notable architectural element is the tiered brick terrace, designed to accommodate the park's sloping terrain. This terrace, with its former bandstand on the upper level and sheltered seating below, adds a distinctive character to the park's landscape."
