Wolfe Tone Park, also referred to as Wolfe Tone Square, is a public space nestled in the heart of Dublin, Ireland. It is bordered by Mary Street to the north, Jervis Street to the east, and Wolfe Tone Street to the west. The park’s namesake, Theobald Wolfe Tone, a prominent Irish revolutionary figure, was baptised in the nearby St. Mary’s Church, adding a layer of historical significance to the park.
A Rich History Transformed
The park’s history is intertwined with that of St. Mary’s Church, as it was once the site of the church’s graveyard. In 1966, the graveyard was deconsecrated and transformed into a green park. However, the park has undergone several redevelopments since then. From 1998 to 2001, Dublin City Council redesigned it as an “urban plaza.” More recently, the park was closed for further regeneration works in late 2020 and reopened in mid-2022, showcasing a revitalised space for the public to enjoy.
