The Phoenix Park is an Archaeological Complex and National Historic Park of international significance and the toilet facilities in the Phoenix Park have been developed to date where there is suitable water and wastewater infrastructure. These public toilets are available at the following locations;

  • The Phoenix Park Visitor Centre
  • The Tea Kiosk adjacent to Dublin Zoo
  • Farmleigh House
  • Knockmaroon Biodiversity Centre
  • Temporary toilets located at the Papal Cross carpark
  • Toilet facilities are also located within Dublin Zoo
The Office of Public Works continues to examine a variety of eco-toilet solutions for the areas within the Park which may benefit from added toilet facilities. The installation of any system will be subject to all necessary planning permissions, availability of resources, and the availability of funds to support the initial capital costs and the ongoing costs to operate and maintain the system.
