Dodder/Dropping Well

Back to Visit a Park
Orwell Gardens, Dublin

Some parks with a large number of gates will start to close half an hour before the above times to allow enough time for all gates to be closed at the designated hour.

Dodder Park/Dropping Well runs along the River Dodder on Dublin's Southside. The River Dodder is home to a rich variety of birds, animals and insects. The river connects a number of sports grounds and is a popular fishing spot for members of the Dodder Angling Association.
