点评:Merrion Square Park sits at the centre of one of Dublin city's most beautiful Georgian squares. The park has been restored to its historical layout. It also has a playground and sculpture trail.
The Merrion Square Park is the most intact Georgian Square located in the heart of the city and it’s surrounded by all kinds of artistic and creative institutions like the National Art Gallery of Ireland, the Archaeological and Natural History sections of the Irish Traditional Music Archive, Royal Society of Antiquaries, the Irish Architectural Archive, just to name a few
In the middle of the Georgian buildings, Merrion Square Park is located. The park is surrounded on three sides by Georgian redbrick houses. On the fourth side, it’s surrounded by government buildings, the Natural History Museum, Leinster House and the National Gallery of Ireland.
To me the best place to enter the park is at the northwest corner near #2 where you will come upon, what in my opinion, is one of the greatest examples of a modern sculptural portrait to be found anywhere. Here is Oscar Wilde in all his dandified glory.
Fun fact, the Merrion Square Park was originally a private garden for residents of the square. Luckily, now everybody can enjoy a walk through the gorgeous park.

梅里恩广场公园是都柏林市中心保存最完好的乔治亚式广场,周围环绕着众多艺术和创意机构,例如爱尔兰国家美术馆、爱尔兰传统音乐档案馆的考古和自然历史部门、皇家古物学会、爱尔兰建筑档案馆等等。
梅里恩广场公园位于乔治亚式建筑群之中,三面环绕着乔治亚式红砖房屋,第四面则与政府大楼、自然历史博物馆、伦斯特宫和爱尔兰国家美术馆相邻。
在我看来,进入公园的最佳地点是西北角2号附近,在那里你会看到一件在我看来堪称现代雕塑肖像艺术杰作的艺术品。这就是奥斯卡·王尔德,他风度翩翩,魅力四射。
有趣的是,梅里恩广场公园最初是广场居民的私人花园。幸运的是,现在每个人都可以漫步在这座美丽的公园里。
