Welcome to Dublin's Front Porch

At the center of Dublin, the Irish Capital of Texas, stands the Dublin Corner Lot. We are a small community park well equipped to please the senses of anyone passing by or choosing to stay a bit.

There’s a charming gazebo, wooden benches shaded by arbors of crossvines, a small pond complete with bubbling waterfall, lovely waterlilies, and a school of koi (fish). Shade trees with flowers and even bluebonnets in spring wildflower season! This park is our front porch to the community.

In 1975, there was a fire that destroyed a local favorite eatery, Black’s Cafe, along with several other businesses located along Patrick Street. Year after year the absentee owner did nothing and Dublin citizens had finally had enough of the dismal state of the space.

1995 is the year the idea for this park was birthed. This plot of land in the center of town had remained barren, ugly, and neglected for over twenty years. Two women, owners of local businesses, planted a tiny garden on the very corner just to make the statement, “This is gonna change!”

Our park does not belong to the city or any business. It belongs to those who support our cause of a green space for all. Dublin’s citizens, businesses, and friends have been committed to our mission since 1996 in helping to maintain this park. Support through memberships, donations, and memorials keeps it flourishing.
