    i am looking for a running track or a well lit park around D11/9/3 areas.

    i currently run in Tolka Valley Park which is brilliant but with the dark nights coming in i am not sure i will be able to continue using it. There is no street lighting in the park.

    i am not too good at seeing the dark.

    thanks

    IB

    Actually, if there was an indoor running track that would be even better

    Sure run from Alfie Bynre road and then along the promenade

    It's not that well light but it's fine

    Plenty around, if you go early morning there are sometimes homeless people in the shelters but they don't bother anyone

    Don't go into Fairview Park after dark and at mad hours

    I have no idea where Alfie Byrne Road is ? Is it near Tolka Park? Is there parking there?

    I am not worried about people, the park in Finlgas has loads of bumpy paths due to tree roots and i am afraid of falling over them, as i dont run with my glasses on.

    I really dont know where Fairview Park is, but i assume it is in Fairview somewhere which is miiiiiiiiiiiiles away from Finglas

    If you can get to Clontarf promenade, that was my suggestion

    Ah here, i just looked at Google maps - Alfie Byrne Road is 10 miles away across the city :eek:

    I am looking for something in Dublin 3/9/11 - i can just run on the roads around me but i refer to be in park rather than on a main road
