The OPW is proud to play a role in maintaining and supporting this exceptional amenity for the public. The Phoenix Park continues to offer a diverse range of cultural, heritage and recreational experiences, with iconic locations such as Farmleigh House and Estate, Magazine Fort and the Phoenix Park Visitor Centre all contributing to its significance as a national asset. Visitors are encouraged to explore the many opportunities the park has to offer, from heritage and history to nature and family-friendly attractions.
