Description

Bushy Park (in the suburb of Rathfarnham) is a natural oasis worth visiting if you want to escape the city streets for a while. The river Dodder skirts the park and a delightful duck pond has been made with the diverted flow. The naturalised planting area attracts squirrels, foxes and birds. It's a good spot to kick a football around in and the large children's playground should keep all the family occupied for an afternoon.
