Stardust Memorial Park

The park spreads across 26 acres along the Santry River, featuring a central fountain with a sculpture depicting two dancers surrounded by 48 commemorative pillars.

Established in 1993, this park stands on land that functioned as a monastic settlement during the 12th century before its transformation into a memorial space.

The Fountain of Youth sculpture by Robin Buick represents the 48 individuals who lost their lives in the Stardust Nightclub fire of February 1981.

Visitors can access multiple recreational facilities including a playground, an all-weather football pitch, garden terraces, and walking paths along the Santry River.

Eight thousand trees of various species including maple, lime, oak, and beech create a dense canopy throughout the grounds.
