My favourite park to walk the dog or go for a jog. Not only because it’s right next to my house, but because of how clean it is and always full of animals and families. They keep the park spotless and the grass is always maintained. You can walk down by the canal and watch the rowing clubs nearby. Up the hill in the park is the amazing rose gardens and ponds which are a must see in the spring and summer.
You can visit the War Memorial right up the back where all the soldiers are buried.
Around the park there is signs showing the history of the park and there is a lot about the Vikings. It’s a very historical area and the kids seem to love reading it around the park. Also in spring you have fields of daffodils growing. So pretty :)

I LOVE the War Memorial Gardens, it’s absolutely beautiful.
It’s such a pleasure to go for a walk down here on a sunny day.
It’s calm, pretty and a nice little escape.
It’s located pretty close to Heuston station and very easily accessible.
I would advise staying away from the flower and pond gardens if you’re allergic to bees/​wasps, they will find you and they will get you!

Si vives en Dublín sí, puedes ir hasta estos jardines para ver algo diferente, pero no es que sea lo más bonito que hay ni mucho menos. Están algo alejados del centro y llegar allí no es cómodo. El parque en sí tampoco tiene mucho de especial, un par de monumentos y memoriales de guerra y césped, para no olvidar que estamos en Irlanda.
No es turístico, ni lo recomiendo si estás de turismo.

Islandbridge is a little off the beaten track, and with so many city sunbathers plumping for the nearby Phoenix Park, the War Memorial Gardens are blessedly calm.
The gardens are undeniably beautiful — sunken rose gardens, herbaceous borders and extensive tree planting make for a very enjoyable and relaxing experience.

Gorgeous, green and laid out in the grand Victorian style of commemorative landmarks, the War Memorial Gardens has become a year-​round refuge for D8 locals. Built to remember the thousands lost in just four years during the Great War, the park offers long views and spectacular gardens befitting a tribute to fallen heroes.
Enter from the Islandbridge gates and walk along Lime Avenue, stopping at the domed temple before heading up to the obelisk and fountains at the top of the sloping Kilmainham hill. From there, look out across the gardens into Phoenix Park for a transporting view of the park’s abandoned British military base and more distant obelisk of the Wellington Monument.
Amble to the banks of the Liffy at the bottom of the gardens and watch local rowing teams practice throughout the Spring and Summer (be sure to mind the swans, teenagers and local cyclists!)

I am a big fan of modern art and I feel very lucky that the museum is housed on spectacular grounds, also on those grounds are the War Memorial Gardens.
They are dedicated to the 49,400 Irish soldiers that died during the 1914 – 1918 war. Sadly for awhile successive governments did not highlight this monument due to them fighting for the British. Thankfully we have moved on from that era in our history.
The garden was designed by the famous architect Sir Edwin Lutyens. It truly is a masterpiece of design. It intrigues me how back then the goal was to tame nature so that it is as rigid as a reserved Victorian person. Another remarkable feature is that,
‘The names of all the soldiers are contained in the beautifully illustrated Harry Clarke manuscripts in the granite bookrooms in the gardens.’

Altough these gardens are here to remember irish soilders they are not only good from a historical perspective.
The gardens are beautifully laid out with the memorial in the center of a beautiful park, compleete with rose gardens and small ponds.
The liffey also runs through the park, but it is the top of the liffy where the water is still clean and still. there are also alot of rowing clubs situated in the gardens i have always enjoyed watching them rowing!

The Memorial Gardens contain great beauty and architectural interest. The gardens are of the remembrance of the 49,400 Irish soldiers who died in 1914 – 1918 war.
You will find the soldiers names engraved on the granite in the gardens.
I thought the gardens, were peaceful, inspiring and very beautiful to look at. I have been to the War Menorial Gardens many times and I recommend you going there too.

the Irish national war memorial park commemorates Irish soldiers who lost their lives fighting with the British army in the great wars of the 20th century. the park is laid on 150 acres of well kept ground. the river liffey runs along the park and is home to most of Dublin’s rowing clubs. the park is not to far from Dublin city centre and is 5 minutes away from hueston train station on a bus. this park is a must visit.

I think the War Memorial gardens are famous memorial gardens in Europe.
They hold a memory of 49,400 Irish soldiers who died in the 1914 – 1918 war. The names of all the soldiers who died in the 1914 – 1918 war, are contained in the granite bookrooms in the Gardens.
These gardens are of a remembrance of history of People and are also of architectural interest. Its A great sightseeing place to go too.
