Princes, presidents and paupers have passed the night in the park; some have enjoyed their stay, some came to harm, sadly some even lost their lives. Their spirits, perhaps, may haunt the park to this day. The park is a large enclosed area of 1,752 acres and within its walls are to be found both passive and active recreational facilities. No two buildings in the park have the same design. Some,
like lodges in Áras an Uachtaráin, the home of Ireland's
President carry older names like the Henman’s Lodge or the Cowman’s
Lodge to recall a former use. Phoenix Park always has been Dublin’s own Pleasure Gardens and it faces the 21st century with fortitude and expectation as life goes on in the park,as ever.
