Marino Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Marino
Marino is a well-established north Dublin suburb in the D09 area, lying between Drumcondra, Fairview, Donnycarney, Whitehall and Beaumont. It is predominantly residential, with broad tree-lined streets, mature gardens and a settled community atmosphere, while the nearby Griffith Avenue area is particularly known for attractive period housing. Living here offers convenient access to Dublin city centre, with frequent buses along the Malahide Road, Griffith Avenue and Drumcondra Road, and Clontarf Dart station also within reach by bicycle or bus. Local shopping is centred on nearby outlets along Marino Mart, Fairview and Drumcondra, with larger retail facilities available at Omni Shopping Centre in Santry. Residents have a good choice of cafés, takeaways, restaurants and traditional pubs in surrounding Drumcondra, Fairview and Clontarf, rather than one concentrated village centre. Families are well served by nearby primary and secondary schools, while sports clubs, community facilities and green spaces provide plenty of recreational options. Grace Park Woods and neighbouring parks offer walking and play areas, and the area is close to Dublin City University, Croke Park and the National Botanic Gardens.
