The Luke Kelly Park is a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Irish folk singer. Featuring a striking statue of Luke Kelly, the park captures the essence of his spirit and music. The large marble head, adorned with metal wire for hair, serves as a poignant reminder of Kelly's enduring legacy and contribution to Irish culture.

Two statues honour the legendary Dubliners singer Luke Kelly: a marble head sculpture with metal curls in the Docklands and a seated bronze statue on South King Street. The Docklands sculpture (2019, by Vera Klute) is located near Sheriff Street Upper / Guild Street and stands out for its expressive facial features and the tangle of metal hair. The bronze statue (2019, by John Coll) depicts Kelly with a banjo in a relaxed seated pose near the Gaiety Theatre. Both locations make for recognisable, photogenic stops that make Dublin's musical soul tangible.
