Parking

There is no designated car parking for Dublin Zoo, however, The Lord’s Walk car park is located beside Dublin Zoo and has a capacity for approximately 260 cars. The Cricket Grounds car park is located opposite the Zoo and has a capacity for approximately 120 cars. Both car parks open daily. There are also car parking spots along the North Road. Parking is available on a first-come-first-served basis, so we advise visitors to arrive early to avoid disappointment.

There are additional parking spots surrounding Dublin Zoo, which are indicated on this corresponding map with blue markers.

If you’re driving from the M50, we suggest using the on-street parking along the North Road. Please enter the Phoenix Park through Ashtown Gate and take an immediate left turn onto North Road. If you enter the Park through Castleknock Gate, turn left at the first roundabout. The on-street parking commences immediately after Cabra Gate and goes all the way to the Zoo’s main entrance. Please note that this stretch of the North Road is a one-way system, so you cannot turn back. It is thus advisable to park at the end of the queue, rather than looking for a space closer to the Zoo gate.

Please visit the OPW’s website for further information on parking within the Phoenix Park.

Please be aware of the North Road pilot one-way scheme. Details are indicated on this corresponding map.
