When I first photographed this in July it was a work in progress and no information was available and the artwork was only black and white.
Superb new artwork ‘Dublin’s Motion’ by Siberian artist & graphic design student Elizaveta Tolmacheva. Artwork located at Weaver Park, Liberties, Dublin 8.
Weaver Park is theW first purpose built Public Park in The Liberties area in over a century; a major step forward for Dublin City Council in addressing the deficit of quality green active amenity space providing outdoor recreational opportunities for the local community of Dublin 8 and further afield. There are a multitude of uses provided for within the park design, including grassed lawns, a terrace onto Cork St., an enclosed play area, a picnic space, a skate park, extensive seating along internal walls and perimeter zones with tree planting, mounding and play features. The central lawn accommodates small scale active and passive uses on a day to day basis but can also provide the space for larger events such as markets, parties, exhibitions and performances. Weaver Park was officially opened on the 2nd October 2017.It has to date proved to be a highly valued and much used space by all age groups.
Location: Mount Prospect Avenue/James Larkin Road, Clontarf East, Dublin.

Today was a Bank Holiday here in Ireland and at about 7am I was awakened by an amazing amount of noise due to a sporting event on the street where I live and I had np option but to leave my apartment so I decided to visit St Anne’s Park. As I left my apartment the weather was beautiful but when I arrived in St Anne’s there was a light shower of rain and I had to seek shelter for about fifteen minutes. Two hours later there was a torrential downpour that caused flooding in the park.
Mount Prospect Avenue is a prestigious residential street in Clontarf, Dublin 3. It is located just a short walk from the seafront and St Anne’s Park, and is home to some of the most desirable properties in the area.
The avenue was originally developed in the 1860s, and many of the houses on the street are large, period properties. There are also a number of newer apartments and townhouses on the avenue.
Mount Prospect Avenue is well-served by public transport, with buses running regularly to and from Dublin City Centre.
Note: The event that I mentioned by the Inner City Running Club who organised a 10k & 21k run on August 6, 2023, at 9am. The starting point is Henrietta Flats immediately across the street from my bedroom. The entry fee was €35 and the The event was sold out.
