What a beautiful castle and well preserved, too. Plenty of parking and has nearby play areas for kids. The grounds are well maintained and well marked.

A kids’ paradise! If I’d grown up in Dublin, this would have been my absolute favourite place in the whole wide world! Malahide Demesne Playground has the best in swings, flying foxes, slippery slides — the lot, basically! It even has some crazy sand digging machine! One of my friends is a nanny and often brings her kids here for a picnic. It’s a great place for the family to hang out for a day. Surrounding the playground are grassy knolls, so you can easily set up a great picnic spot from which you can supervise your kids on that awful ride that goes around and around and makes you really dizzy(and is one that kids always want you to go on with them). Beyond the playgrounds there are acres and acres of green park just waiting for you to run around on them! Bring a ball or a kite, make a day of it. Gorgeous gorgeous spot! Accessible by DART as well, just fyi…
