Phoenix Park (I Páirc an Fhionn-Uisce, corruption of fionn uisce, "clear water") is a large park located 3 km to the north west of Dublin city centre in Ireland. It measures 712 hectares (1752 acres), with a walled circumference of 16 km. It contains large areas of grassland, tree-lined avenues and many areas of small forest. The park is home to a herd of wild fallow deer.
