The Gardens, Kingston Park (Dun Laoghaire)
The Gardens, Kingston Park (Dun Laoghaire)
The gardens are known today as the People's Park. The site was previously Glasthule Quarry and granite was quarried from here to help build the harbour in Dun Laoghaire. J.L.Robinson designed the layout for the park around a bandstand and two iron fountains. The park was officially opened in 1890. A park keeper was employed and a resident gardener up until the 1970s. One of the fountains was restored in 1985 and dedicated for the 70th anniversary of the Easter Rising. The playground, which dated from the 1950s, was redesigned in 1988.
