If your in around Dublin city centre then you could venture up to St Stephens green park. Its a great park with some nice winding walk ways and lovely shrubs, trees and other nice flowers and fauna, along with the wildlife that shares the park.
Male and female mallard ducks, swans and other water foul can be found afloat on the lovely ponds and little meandering streams.
Sit and relax on the park benches and admire the fountains in the middle of the park.
Even though this park is located in the city, you wouldn’t notice the hustle and bustle of the city when your in the park, its a nice way to be able to switch the atmosphere and life mood modes from city life to natural calm life.
