Sean Walsh Park first opened in 1989 and was named after the well-known local politician, who died in the same year. Tallaght’s 36.5 hectare park is opposite the Square Town Centre which is linked to the park by a footbridge over the Tallaght bypass.
The park provides the people of Tallaght with a lovely landscaped neighbourhood park, with pleasant trees, shrubs and attractive water features enjoying beautiful views of the Dublin Mountains. Among the facilities in the park are ponds, waterfalls, ornamental bridges, picnic areas and playing pitches. You can easily recognise the park by its fantastic fountain, gushing powerfully into the air. All around it, you can see ducks, swans, grey heron and a variety of other water birds.
