The Phoenix Park, Dublin

The Phoenix Park, embracing 1,760 acres, is reputed to be the largest municipal park within a city's limits in the world. While it is popularly assumed that it was named after the mythical bird, most Irish experts believe the name may be derived from "Fion Uisce which means "clear water".
