Phoenix Park is claimed to be the largest urban park in Europe and is worth a visit.
Originally its Irish name is Fhionnuisce, meaning pure water. When the British occupied Ireland, they changed many of the place names to English, and it sounded so similar to the English word for phoenix that they called it Phoenix Park, not because of the legend of the phoenix.
Looking up at the sky as a yellow leaf appears among the trees and the sun hides behind the clouds is, well, the first image early morning runners see every day on the pavement and grass of Phoenix Park.
Entering the main gate, the first thing that comes to mind is the People's Garden and the racecourse, with green grass and red flowers swaying in the wind. The scenic arrangement is artificial, yet natural and untraceable.
Then inward is two natural lakes, the famous Dublin Zoo on the lake and built, there are swans, pelicans leisurely on the water, the zoo is still taming animals, breeding lions and large cats and unique, known throughout the world. The President of Ireland in the quiet, will be his official residence in the quiet park.
