Aston Quay was originally laid out in the late seventeenth century, on land reclaimed from the River Liffey, and was named after Henry Aston, a Dublin merchant. Both it and Crampton Quay were rebuilt in the late eighteenth century as part of the Wide Street Commission's work to construct a continuous quayside and associated thoroughfare along the south side of the River Liffey.
This park is well worth a visit. There is a children's playground, an extensive wooded area, with walks to the banks of the Dodder (with access over a footbridge to the Rathfarnham area), a woodland pond, a duck pond, and a recently reopened kiosk.
