Sydney Parade Avenue

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sydney Parade Avenue (Ascaill Pharáid Sydney in Irish), Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, Ireland runs from the land formerly known as Ailesbury Park opposite the Merrion Centre at the Merrion Road end, to the sea of Dublin Bay at the Strand Road. Ailesbury Road joins Sydney Parade at the DART station. Other side roads off the avenue include

• Richelieu Park, a cul-de-sac
• Ailesbury Park,
• Ailesbury Gardens, which joins with
• St. Alban's Park, and
• Park Avenue, the road to Sandymount village.

The Ailesbury Park end of the avenue has been artificially cul-de-sacced, that is, closed to road traffic, since the 1980s.

Sydney Parade is also the name of the station.
