Peace Park

The Peace Park on Christchurch Place was originally laid out in 1988 to mark Dublin's millennium and a desire for peace. The park has been recently restyled and now offers a lovely respite along the busy 'Dubline' tourist trail through the city. At its centre, a simple raised lawn grows in soil from the Fields of Flanders as a touching marker to the dead of World War 1. A sculptural piece at the rear of the park represents the Tree of Life. The adjoining ruin is the former Church of St Nicholas Within. The park is open daily.
