Tymon Park is a large, 130 hectares (320 acres),^[1] suburban public park in Dublin, Ireland.

Location[edit]

The park is situated between Tallaght, Templeogue and Walkinstown. It straddles the M50 motorway which divides the park in two. A pedestrian footbridge links the eastern and western sides near the Greenhills Road, with another further south near the Templeogue Road. There are four main entrances which provide access to car parks at Tymon North Road, Greenhills Road, Limekiln Road and Willington Lane. In addition, pedestrians can gain access through a number of smaller gates.

Attractions and activities[edit]

Tymon Park is a popular location for walking, jogging and field sports.^[2] The park contains a number of waymarked woodland trails with interpretations of woodland features provided. The River Poddle flows through the park, filling two lakes with interconnecting water features.

There is a children's adventure playground at the western end of the park, close to the Greenhills Road entrance.

A Parkrun operates in Tymon Park each Saturday morning.^[3]
