The People’s Park

This review is for the Sunday market. On every Sunday no matter the weather except Christmas weekend :). You can get bread, fish, cakes, falafel wraps, dumplings, Thai food, Indian food. You name it and it’s at this market. Go to collect things for your dinner even! Fruit and veg stalls, fish stall, butchers (organic), pies & quiches… Over 20 stalls and lots of craft stalls too. My favourite is the falafel plate with vine leaves and samosas :). Also try the cheese and onion bread twists from Rikes bakery van. I’ve had the pleasure of working here for years so I’ve gotten to try all the food and know everyone and these people turn up no matter the weather just so you can try the amazing foods. Also the calamari on the tapas stall is to die for. Everything is!

Génialissime marché le dimanche !
Un dimache ensoleillé, rien de prévu, pas envie de dépenser des fortunes? Cet endroit est parfait. J’adore sortir du centre-​ville de Dublin se balader le long de la mer entre la gare et parc, manger la-​bas le midi ou vous n’aurez que l’embarras du choix entre differentes culture du vietnamien au bon Burger au Barbecue en passant par la saucisse espagnole, tout en terminant par une bonne crêpe sucré vraiment top !

Really good farmers market on the weekend. Prepared foods from all over and great/​unique items available for cooking. Lively music at times and a great and playground for the kids. Just a great place to get out, relax, have a picnic and get some shopping done all in one go. Oh and it’s dog friendly.

Recently renovated the park is surrounded by flowers and has a nice playground. There is also a nice restaurant where you can relax and enjoy a nice food. The park offer free internet and toilet.

Great little park between Glasthule and Dun Laoighre. It is a beautiful example of a Victorian park and is over 100 years old. The Pavillion and gate lodge have recently been restored to their former glory. The tea rooms are now home to Fallon and Byrne and have some really nice outdoor seating overlooking the park down to the ocean.
The recent renovations of the park are fantastic and there is now lots of seating and places to sit and eat. On the ocean side of the park the new seating areas have chess /​draught boards and some big umbrellas for shelter if there is bad weather. The playground has also had a facelift.
The park has a market every Sunday which is not weather dependent and runs all winter.

Sucha cool place to visit on a Sunday morning, oodles of great food stalls to eat from, and you will want to eat from them all so making the choice is hard work!
There are also non food stalls such as local artists, fashion, books, kids learning stall and so on.
Fallon & Byrne have recently taken over the old derelict building that lies at the top of the park and is a warm welcome.

People park is a nice park a short walk from the east pier of Dun Laoghaire and the DART station.
The park itself has a picturesque flower display with an old wooden boat at the entry way, something I have seen a fee other places in Dun Laoghaire as well, maybe a symbol of this area?
The park has fountains, tea rooms (currently under refurbishment), a nice size playground and is home to the Sunday food markets which is always good for a visit. The playground is more modern than some others in Dublin and is nicely maintained.

Love the People’s Park Sunday Artisinal Food Market — what a great concentration of food and stuff vendors — from falafel and sushi to rotisserie chicken and organic produce, the Sunday Artisinal food market is absolutely great. I tried the lebanese falafel and it was delicious — though next time I would go for the falafel platter (7e) — the pita bread was not warmed and did not really add anything to the sandwich — the 2 euro savings wasn’t worth it and the platter has some much more stuff. I really wanted to try so many more vendor stalls but I was stuffed. My wife and daughter went with crepes and they were very happy. I also tried some of the sauces — pesto… at the italian stand — very tasty. My daughter also loved spending a few hours at the playground and my dog loved picking up as many food scraps that he could reach. All in all a great day.

Spent a lovely couple of hours at the farmers market and strolling the sea wall this Sunday. It helped considerably that it was warm and dry on this mid-​November day.
There was ample parking nearby, which was nice. My wife, daughter and I enjoyed browsing the various tents, then eating some Asian dumplings while sitting and watching the surf crash into the pier. Crammed with families, it was nice to see the large children’s play area as well.
All in all, a wonderful afternoon in nice weather in a clean and happy public park.

The People’s Park in Dun Laoghaire is a charming little patch of greenery overlooking the coastline. It’s the perfect place for lazing about on a sunny day. It boasts some cute little tearooms and one of the few Sunday farmers markets on the southside (though I’m open to correction on this one). There’s a mellow buzz in the air during the market and even if you’re not hungry, you’re sure to snack on some of the fudge, falafel or fruit that the traders have to offer before leaving.
Tends to be happy families in here on a sunny Sunday and there is often some impromptu entertainment in the offing too. It’s picturesque and nautically themed with a boat overflowing with flowers at the entrance.

The people’s park is a well maintained park by the sea in Dun Laoghaire. There is a lovely fountain, public toilets, tea rooms and lovely floral displays planted in old fishing boats.
There is ample parking near by, although it is pay and display, which is free on Saturdays and Sundays.
The park is really close to the pier and sea front and close to Teddy’s famous ice cream!

This park’s a real traditional park nestled down the back of Dún Laoghaire. It’s precisely what a wee neighbourhood park should be, complete with a good children’s play area, (slightly naff it has to be admitted, but that’s all part of the charm of these things!) tea rooms, beautiful garden beds and of course a fountain! Beautiful on a summer’s day, try to catch an outdoor movie in June, or the excellent Farmer’s Market of a Sunday, where delicious food mingles with the obligatory handcrafts and used book stalls.
Grab a take away from one of the nearby cafes, and soak up a few rays… just watch out for hordes of teenagers playing at being cool!!!

The Peoples Park is a nice clean park. Great for a lazy summers day, especially with Teddy’s famous ice cream and the sea side just out the back.
It gets busy on Sundays for the Farmers Market (11 – 4) which has a great and varied selection of food from all over. Can be a bit twee, but that goes with the territory at these things.
It’s not just restricted to food though, there are some cracking bookstalls and a few craft ones too. This is where I discovered Paulo Coelho, I’m in debt.
Now, to business. Traditionally there are three days a year in which Dun Laoghaire stops hovering on the verge of crap and makes the great leap forward into being the greatest place in the world. The Festival of World Cultures, although it’s just two days this year (²⁹⁄₃₀^th Aug), is the best weekend in Dublin.
Sun, sea, hippies, pints and banging samba drums all for free (except pints of course, but where there’s a will…). It’s pure awesome, and the Park is one of the festivals main hubs.
Love it.

Ich mag diesen Park! Mit Sicherheit ist er nicht spektakulär, aber er ist einfach prima gelegen und irgendwie charmant mit den nett angelegten Wegen und v.a. im Frühling und Sommer liebevoller Bepflanzung, der kleinen Wasserfontäné in der Mitte des Parks, der Kinderspielplatz und oberhalb ein kleines Café.
Auf dem Weg vom Stadtzentrum runter zum Meer, die Promenade entlang bietet sich v.a. mit Kindern ein Zwischenstopp im People’s Park nahezu an. Einen leckeren Latte Macchiato und ein Sandwich ersteht man im Park Tea Room, den man entweder mit Ausblick auf den Hafen direkt dort auf der Terrasse verzehrt, sich auf eine der zahlreichen Bänke irgendwo in den Park setzt oder das snack pack mit zum Spielplatz nimmt.
Jeden Sonntag zwischen 11 und 16 Uhr ist organic food market mit viel leckerem Essen und Trinken, aber auch anderer netter Schnickschnack wird angeboten.
