Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We stayed in Dublin for 4 nights and 5 days in mid-May, 2023. This park was in between our B&B and the city center, so we visited and walked through it every day. Very beautiful fresh air temporary escape from the madness of Dublin... we did enjoy the city but this place is wonderful. Ancient trees, birds and other wildlife abound here. The story of the Irish revolution against United Kingdom in 1916 is told in many plaques and statues located throughout the park. The battles were fought right here in the park and surrounding streets in 1916. The walking paths meander all around the park in several directions. On one side is a lake with plentiful waterfowl swimming about. There are plenty of benches located all over the park if you wish to sit and admire the surroundings or read a book. We loved this park!!

St. Stephens Green is a beautiful park in Dublin. There are water features and walking paths, along with signs about the Irish revolution in the early 20th century. My wife and I also saw multiple statues.

It's a nice place to have a break in town, sit and enjoy the view of the lake and the ducks (if is a sunny day) think about life, talk with friends and maybe even a picnic.

Picnic, read, nap, whatever pleases you. Family friendly. Unbelievably quiet. Nice plantings and trees.

Nice park on a sunny or dry day. But in the end, it's just a park, and there aren't many places to sit. Plenty of birds, however.

Plenty of benches, a lovely place to people watch, and suck up the elusive sun. Impeccably clean and well maintained.

Do seek this green refuge out, as it offers a respite from the Temple Bar crowds. Larger than expected, trails circle a lake, there are plenty of benches to relax, and people were just enjoying the peacefulness. Nice.

Lush, green, peaceful. A perfect place to take a stroll and people watch. Beautiful ponds, well-manicured flower beds, dappling trees, happy dogs tugging at their leashes. What could be better!

Can you bike there?

I didn’t see any signs that said you couldn’t.Also didn’t see any bike paths.
Es handelt sich hierbei um eine kleinere Steinbrücke. Es ist eine Verfilmung von Cecilia Ahern. Es spielt hauptsächlich in Irland und vieles in Dublin. Da wir bald dorthin reisen hätte ich gerne gewusst wo diese herrliche Brücke steht.
Ich meine natürlich den Film Mein ganzes halbes Leben!

Really Karl ,
yes there are homeless people all over our city and mostly they do not bother people in parks or elsewhere . More to our shame we are not bothered by their predicament ....... As for what goes on in bushes I have not notice this but am aware that the drug use problem which is all around our City is no longer evident in the Green thanks to the works of several bodies.

We've purchased tickets for the 2016-17 New year's concert (with Stepping on Cars) at St. Stephens Green, and I am wondering about the weather and libations. When we fly from the US to Dublin, should we bring a tarp to sit on at the concert, blankets to cover us, flashlights, and a collapsible cooler to be filled with beer? Any help would be so helpful. Just don't know where to go to ask these questions.

We would most likely have a chilly, wet day. So you must bring the gear for such weather.

Hi, is it possible to get a camp bed put in the main bedroom for my young daughter as she doesn't like sleeping on her own in another room when we're on holidays.
Thank you.

Hi there;
I think you are joking, re-read your question and ask yourself.

There are 3900 reviews. Why can I only view 10 at a time? Why not let me scroll down to August, instead of one page at a time? Also, why can't I filter them so that I only see messages by visitors from the U.S., or just families? Why do you force me to read all 3900 reviews to find the info I want?

That's a very good question. "Most recent" does not equate to "most relevant". If I were planning to visit St. Stephen's Green (or Dublin in general) in August, I would want to see reviews and impressions of August events, August conditions, August prices, etc. As you say, it's also useful to see what people from a particular country or region think about their experiences; it helps a reader form judgments. I hope TripAdvisor considers adding ways to sort reviews more deliberately.
