SHANDON GARDENS AND PARK [I WAS SURPRISED TO DISCOVER A PITCH AND PUTT CLUB HERE]-232323

            Dublin's Shandon: A Charming Corner of Phibsboro

Shandon Park and Shandon Gardens are two neighbouring streets tucked away in the Phibsboro area of Dublin's Northside. This small community offers a unique blend of history, green spaces, and recreational opportunities.

Shandon Park: Edwardian Elegance

Shandon Park consists of a  terrace of Edwardian-era houses built circa 1926. These charming red-brick homes line the banks of the Royal Canal, offering picturesque views and a sense of tranquility.  Their period features, like high ceilings and fireplaces, add a touch of timeless elegance to the street.

Shandon Gardens: Post-War Expansion

Shandon Gardens was added in 1952, expanding the Shandon community. These concrete houses offered practical and functional living spaces in the post-war period. Together, Shandon Park and Shandon Gardens form a cohesive neighbourhood with a diverse architectural style.

The Shandon Pitch and Putt Club: A Community Gem

A highlight of the Shandon area is the Shandon Pitch and Putt Club. This 18-hole course, affiliated with the Pitch and Putt Union of Ireland, provides a haven for sports enthusiasts and a strong sense of community spirit. The club welcomes players of all levels, offering a friendly and accessible environment to enjoy the sport of pitch and putt.

Location and Amenities

The Shandon community enjoys excellent proximity to the vibrancy of Phibsborough Village, with its shops, cafes, and restaurants. Residents can easily access public transport links, including the Luas light rail, making commutes to Dublin City Centre and beyond a breeze. The scenic Royal Canal Walkway, the historic Botanic Gardens, and the expansive Phoenix Park all lie within easy reach, offering opportunities for leisure and enjoying Dublin's green spaces.

A Unique Blend

Shandon Park and Shandon Gardens represent a small yet special slice of Dublin. The area's blend of Edwardian charm and post-war functionality, along with its strong community ties centred around the Pitch and Putt club, provide a distinctive character. Shandon offers a delightful mix of tranquil living and proximity to the urban buzz of Dublin city life.
