Park Avenue, Dublin

Park Avenue in the suburb of Sandymount, Dublin 4, Ireland is the name of a road joining Sydney Parade Avenue to Gilford Road. It is home to a number of cricket and rugby union grounds including Pembroke Cricket Club, the Railway Union Sports Club and Monkstown Rugby Club. Of architectural note is the Church of St John, noted for its French Bath stone's decay due to its proximity to the sea. The church is on an island at the junction of Park Avenue and St Johns Road, which continues east towards the sea at Sandymount Strand.

History
Park Avenue runs through an area which was, in former times, known as The Marsh, being a pond or lough in the estuary of the River Liffey. In 1820, twelve dwellings stood in Park Avenue, which was originally known as Cottage Park Avenue. The Sisters of Mercy had a convent, orphanage and school on Park Avenue which was founded in 1856 and reference to their activities is made in the novel Ulysses. When high property prices made sales of their grounds attractive, this posed a dilemma for the religious order but were sold for the construction of 78 houses in high-density development. ==See also==
