About this place Phoenix Park Cruising Area

Phoenix Park has been a cruising ground for Dublin men for generations. Activity centres on the quieter western side of the park, along the S-Bends of Upper Glen Road and the wooded paths around the Furry Glen. It is busiest on warm afternoons and early evenings, when men walk the trails between the two areas. The park is huge and walled, so the Chapelizod and Knockmaree gates are the closest entrances. This is a public park used by families, walkers and deer, and the Gardaí patrol it. Be discreet, keep well away from paths and anyone not clearly interested, and do not stay after dark. Bring little of value, and tell someone where you are going.

This was a nice thing to do with the family. We hired two bikes, and one of them included a trolley for the kid. However, we thought we would use the bikes longer but in the end we only spent like 2 hours. You can't enter many parts of the Phoenix park by bike so there we felt "stupid".

I had a great experience. The location is excellent, right in front of the park, the prices are fair, and the service was very good. Overall, I had a really positive experience.

Great location, quick collection. Bikes good for the hour and the routes were generally easy to follow. Would suggest longer than an hour so can explore and take a break! We saw the deer with was great!

The service is mediocre: less friendly, no help with adjusting helmets for the children. You also have to adjust the seat height yourself. The bicycles do not have a luggage basket. If you do not have a backpack, everything has to dangle from the handlebars, which led to a small accident for me. The bicycles also do not have kickstands; when stopping, you simply have to lay them on the ground. You will look in vain here for a small sketch of the bike paths to take with you. Most paths are designed to run parallel to roads with a surprising amount of car traffic, which also does not spark any enthusiasm. You imagine a bike trip with children in the park to be a bit different.

I rented the bicycle. Everything went well, although the paths in the park are poorly marked.

The staff wasn’t friendly at all and the bikes weren’t well looked after. The chain came off 3 times.

One of the largest enclosed city parks in Europe, perfect for walking, cycling, jogging, or enjoying a picnic. Home to Dublin Zoo, with wild deer roaming freely throughout the grounds . Can't recommend this enough

A beautiful park with deer roaming freely and a visitor center offering free guided tours. An old observation tower can also be visited. The staff is very friendly. The park is huge and clean.
