I will say this about the towncentre. It's not a bad shopping centre at all. Like when I compare it to Dundrum I always think (of Dundrum) of having to pay for parking and expensive shops (Harvey Nics etc).

Anyone think of anything else?

Why not go to Bloom in the Park, or a walk and a coffee at Farmleigh House?

St.Catherines park and playground if you have kids

Also, you could try Rathbeggan lakes, I think there is a small entry fee but nothing bank breaking.

Rathbeggan Lakes is brilliant.

Never heard of it, must look it up

If it's 10 minutes from the M50 then I'm driving the wrong car.

Would be in and around 10 minutes, 15 at tops, I live in Clonee(D15), from my house I can do it in under 10 minutes. Hardly any traffic on the road going up to it

Probably more accurate to talk about driving time. From certain parts of Dublin 15, you will be at the Hill of Tara as quick as you will be at the Phoenix Park.

Meath has Newgrange, Battle of the Boyne centre etc. which are excellent places to visit.

Nearer D15, Rathbeggan Lakes, St. Catherine's Park, Phoenix Park, walk along the canal all offer excellent free or cheap outdoor entertainment.

Plantagen Garden Centre outside Clonee with Kilsaran Paving across the road offer plenty of ideas for doing things in the garden.

The Millenium Park at the Blanchardstown Centre, the Tolka Valley Park at Waterville, the park just after Clonsilla Train Station and the Ashtown Tolka Valley Park all offer short walks of up to an hour as well as playgrounds for the kids.

It really depends on what you are looking for - golf in Dunboyne, Castleknock, Luttlrellstown or Elm Green, swimming in the NAC, cinema in the centre, plenty of activities that you have to pay for as well.

Eh, everything.

O'Connell Bridge is only 6.5 miles from Blanchardstown. You could conceivably find a venue for every child and family related leisure activity of the modern age, except maybe mountain climbing....

D15 isn't exactly capital city...speaking as a resident of D15, to get into town by bus is 45 mins and if you drive then you can't have a pint. LUAS isn't close.

10 miles radius is reachable by bus or taxi, so perfectly valid question in my books...I'm always around for a beer !

If you live close enough to the train to use it, the majority of D15 is no were near the line.

Still, there are 4 stops in Dublin 15, so a lot of people do have access to it.
