About Phoenix Park

Phoenix Park calls for a different measure of walking: the lawns open up and the center stops feeling so close. Pick one part to explore instead of turning the afternoon into an endurance test against the map.

The deer roam free and have no appointment with visitors. If they appear, watch from a distance and do not offer food. Check the map and think about the way back before heading to areas far from the entrances.
