Palmerston Park, Dublin, Victorian park in Dartry, Ireland
The green space includes distinct sections with a playground in the east and a pond with flower beds in the west section.
The park occupies land that belonged to Rathmines Castle, a strategic fortress built in 1636 that witnessed the Battle of Rathmines.
The site evolved from a military stronghold to an educational institution when Reverend Charles Barry established a boys' school in 1789.
The facility maintains seasonal hours, operating from 10:00 to 17:00 in January and extending until 22:00 during June and July.
The modern playground features specialized wooden equipment including a net tunnel for toddlers and advanced climbing structures for older children.
