This is a straightforward trail signposted as the "Little River Rail Trail".
It could easily be combined with our "Lets Go Down to Liffeytown" route for an 11km trot, or if you are extra keen on a much longer run the Rail Trail route follows Gilmours Road and Rivers Road to connect with the 23km "Little River Chuggalong" route from our trail running directory, all the way to Little River.
Nice route along the old Lincoln Rail line as it headed south.
If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.
Park up on Liffey Drive by the reserve and tennis courts. Safe on street parking.

The highlight is undeniably Slinky the Snake! Second place goes to the airplane.

One of my local runs! Track is easy to follow and wide. Not super inspiring, but a good 'trail' run close to home. Watch out for cyclists, they sneak up on you. Halfway when you hit the turn around, there is a person selling eggs. Sometimes we bring a bag and run these back home for a post run, protein filled breakfast.

These overlap with this trail to some degree. You may wish to combine them but please note that to qualify for FKTs on these runs you should record a separate activity for each.
