Bushy Park (Rathfarnham)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bushy Park (Irish: Páirc na dTor) is a large public park in Rathfarnham, Dublin in Ireland. Bushy Park is a natural oasis. The river Dodder flows peacefully through the park. It's flora attracts a lot of squirrels, foxes and birds. It has numerous football pitches for soccer, rugby union and gaelic football, a large tennis court, children's playground and a skatepark. It is the home ground for Bush Park Rangers FC.
In the centre of the park there is a large hill. Here there is a constant stream of kids frewheeling, running, waddling and falling down the path. Although you might remember it as being massive, the hill itself is quite small. There is also a bandstand and duck pond in the middle of the park.
South of the duckpond is "The Shell House", the ruins of a small building that have been covered in shells.
The park was originally part of the Shaw family estate who were related to George Bernard Shaw. In the 1950's they donated the land to Dublin Corporation for use as a public park.
