Stardust Memorial Park

Stardust Memorial Park, Memorial park in Coolock, Ireland

Stardust Memorial Park covers 26 acres along the Santry River in Coolock, on land that was a 12th-century monastic site. Its centrepiece is the Fountain of Youth, a circular pool with a bronze sculpture of a dancing couple, fed by 48 illuminated jets. The park is enclosed by a mild steel railing on a plinth wall, with entrances marked by limestone piers matching the memorial's design.

The park stands on land that was a 12th-century monastic site. Five years after the 1981 Stardust nightclub fire, in 1986, it was agreed to create a memorial. The sod-turning ceremony took place on 30 May 1991, led by Taoiseach Charles Haughey and his son Seán Haughey, followed by an open-air mass. The park was officially opened on 18 September 1993 by Lord Mayor Tomás Mac Giolla.

The fountain sculpture at the center depicts two dancers and serves as a memorial to those lost in the 1981 nightclub fire. For local residents, the site provides a quiet space to reflect on this tragedy that affected their community.

The park is open to the public with ample green space for walking and relaxing throughout. Different zones for sports, play, and gardens allow visitors to choose routes that match their interests.

On 12 February 1993, 48 birch trees were planted around the memorial fountain, one for each person who died in the Stardust fire. The number of trees matches the 48 water jets in the fountain.
