Park Road

One of Dublin's smallest suburbs — just 228 acres — with an unusually specific origin: the Garden Village of 247 bungalows built from 1922 for World War One veterans, designed on Ebenezer Howard's garden city principles by Patrick Abercrombie. The winding streets, green spaces, and low-density layout remain intact a century later. Parnell Park, Dublin GAA's home ground, and the DART station that reopened in 1923 to serve the new settlement complete the picture.
