Every physio worth her salt has a list like this one! These are the Dublin spots I'm forever pointing my patients toward once the knee or the shoulder is behaving itself again - from the big stadiums to the quiet corners where you can just get moving without an audience. Add a good playlist and you're sorted!

Name	Address	City	Good for	My take
1Croke Park	Jones' Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 P6K7	Dublin	GAA matches, stadium tours, big-match atmosphere	Even the stairs up to the nosebleeds count as a cardio session, I promise ye!
2Aviva Stadium	62 Lansdowne Road, Dublin 4	Dublin	Rugby and football internationals	Roar for Ireland, then mind your voice box as much as your hamstrings after!
3National Aquatic Centre	Snugborough Road, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15	Dublin	Lane swimming, rehab swims, the waterpark for the kids	Best low-impact rehab going, no joints get a hard time in that water!
4Phoenix Park	Phoenix Park, Dublin 8	Dublin	Running, cycling, parkrun, a stroll with the dog	My go-to prescription for stressed shoulders is simply 'go walk it off in there'!
5National Basketball Arena	Tymon Park, Tallaght, Dublin 24	Dublin	Basketball league fixtures and finals	Ankle sprains galore on that court, keep the physios in business!
6Markets Field	Jones' Road, Drumcondra, Dublin 3, D03 P6K7	Dublin	Watching hurling up close from Hill 16	Alright, I'm cheating a bit, same ground as Croker, but Hill 16 deserves its own mention!
7Herbert Park	Ballsbridge, Dublin 4	Dublin	Tennis courts, a gentle jog loop, pitch and putt	Lovely spot to ease someone back into jogging without the knees complaining!
8Markievicz Leisure Centre	Townsend Street, Dublin 2	Dublin	Public swimming, gym, hydrotherapy-style sessions	Handy spot in town for a pool session between clinic appointments!
