    Where in Rathmines is there a decent nearby park to have a kickaround? Both parks in Harolds Cross are off limits...is bushy park and kimmage the nearest decent open spaces for a game of footy for 7 or 8 lads?

    Cheers,
    Trilla

    Belgrave Square - 2 minutes walk from the Swan Centre.

    Palmerston Park - 15/20 mins walk from same place.

    Yet another one not within walking distance (don't know any within walking distance) would be UCD, brilliant soccer facilities between 3 synthetic pitches.

    Just on a related issue, even though it wouldn't be good for footy, what's happening with Dartmouth Square, anyone know?

    The last I heard, he had moved in two caravans.

    Also, Kenilworth Square, but you'll need permission (there is a groundsman there most days).

    There is a small park on Upper Rathmines Road, that never seems to be used, might be OK for a kick-around.

    On Rathmines Road Upper between Maxwell Road and Maxwell Lane / Frankfort Avenue next to the college of education.

    It is quite small though.
