Located between Greencastle Road and Adare Road along the Santry River, the focus of the 8 hectares (20 acres) park is the Stardust Memorial, the centre-piece of which is a lifesize bronze sculpture of a dancing couple set in a pool with forty eight fountain jets.
Formerly a monastic site, the park has an ornamental pond, seating area, children's playground and an all-weather floodlit pitch in addition to an extensive pedestrian system and tree plantations. A characteristic of the development was the valuable support of the local Community, FAS and the Stardust Victims Committee together with finance provided by the government as well as Dublin City Council
