Parks · Killiney, Dublin
A hilltop park on Dublin's southside with wooded paths, the summit viewpoint over Killiney Bay and routes toward Dalkey Quarry. It is one of the few parks where the council permits dogs off-leash in all areas.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown's own dog rules name Killiney Hill Park as a full off-leash exception, making it rare off-lead walking near Dublin.
Under the council's Parks Bye-Laws, dogs may not be off-leash in county parks except at Killiney Hill Park and the designated off-leash areas in Cabinteely, Deerpark, Marlay, Shanganagh and Kilbogget Parks. Restricted breeds are prohibited from being off-leash at any of these locations. Hours were not published in the material reviewed.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
