CABRA TRAM STOP AND MOUNT BERNARD PUBLIC PARK
The Cabra tram stop is a key part of Dublin's Luas Green Line. Opened in 2017 as part of the Luas Cross City extension, it connects the Green Line to the Red Line, greatly enhancing Dublin's light rail network. Located at the northern end of the Broadstone railway cutting, just north of Connaught Street, the Cabra stop offers residents convenient access to the city centre and other destinations along the Green Line, which runs from Broombridge to Bride's Glen.
The stop is situated close to Mount Bernard Park, providing a welcome green space for commuters and locals. Pedestrians can easily access the park via the Liam Whelan Bridge, which crosses over the tram tracks.
Mount Bernard Park:
Origins: Mount Bernard Park was once part of the extensive Cabragh Estate, owned by the influential Butler family. While the exact origins of the parkland are unclear, the Butler family held significant landholdings in the area from at least the 18th century.
Dominican Ownership: In the early 20th century, portions of the Cabragh Estate were sold off. The land that now comprises Mount Bernard Park came under the ownership of the Dominican Order of nuns.
Public Park: In 1983, Dublin City Council purchased the land from the Dominican nuns to create a public park. It officially opened to the public in 1984.
Features: Today, Mount Bernard Park is a valued community space featuring a playground, playing fields, and walking paths, offering a peaceful retreat within the urban landscape of Cabra. It covers an area of 1.8468 hectares.
