Tully Park, located in Cherrywood, Dublin, is a significant public space spanning 9 hectares. It’s the flagship park of the Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) and is entered around the national monument and protected structure Tully Church.

The park is divided into four zones: a Heritage Zone with Tully Church & Graveyard, High Crosses and their environs; a Biodiversity Zone with lots of native wildflowers, shrubs, trees and informal paths; a Play Zone; and a Passive Zone.

The park provides a range of visitor attractions including fitness, play and ecological trails, active and passive recreational areas, a playground with a café, and a distinctive heritage area incorporating three national monuments.

Facilities and amenities in the park include a tea room, externally accessible public toilets, staff space, storage, and ancillary accommodation.

As for the metal sculpture at the entrance of Tully Park, I couldn’t find specific information about it. It’s possible that it’s a part of the public art installations mentioned in the park’s development plan.

Bishop Street is a major road in the Cherrywood development, a large-scale urban project in South Dublin, Ireland.

It’s a key part of Town Centre 1 (TC1), one of the planned town centres within the Cherrywood development.

Bishop Street connects with Wyattville Link Road, another significant thoroughfare in the area.

Cherrywood’s developers chose street names that reflect the existing place names or the history of the area.

“Bishop Street” likely references the historical legend of the “seven bishops” associated with Tully/ Tulagh-na-nEaspag (‘Hillock of the Bishops’). This connects with the area’s rich past.
