Phoenix Park
The Phoenix Park, (situated 3km (2m) west of the city centre) embracing 1,760 acres, is considered to be the largest municipal park within a city's limits in the world. While it is popularly assumed that it was named after the mythical bird, most Irish experts believe the name may be derived from "Fion Uisce which means "clear water". Ornamental gardens, nature trails, and broad expanses of grassland, separated by avenues of trees, including oak, beech, pine, chestnut, and lime. Livestock graze peacefully on pasturelands, deer roam the forested areas, and horses romp on polo fields.
