Advantages: Place to go and visit in new EU countries

Disadvantages: it is not so well known for people from West Europe

In my opinion 'Phoenix Park' in Dublin is definetely not the largest inner-city park in the Europe.
I think that you should count mainland Europe's countries as well. As far as I am aware Poland is in Europe as well. Moreover it is one of the biggest European countries. 'Silesian Culture and Recreation Park or Voivodship Culture and Recreation Park' located in Katowice (Poland) is the biggest city park in Europe. Its area is 620 hectares (1532,055 acre). Which means that this park is much more bigger than Phoenix Park. This park has got much more to offer as well: Silesian stadium which hosts national football matches, motorcycle speedway world championships and music festivals, Planetarium, Zoological Garden with dinosaurs valley, Ethnographic Park, Amusement Park, International Trade Hall, Swimming pool complex, Water sports centre, tennis courts, restaurants, cafes etc. Moreover its got Poland's largest rose garden, home to over 30,000 and one of the most beautiful in the world. There is also 'Elka chairlift' which is an unique city chairlift in Europe. It's running in a huge triangle up to 20m above the park between the Silesian Stadium, Amusement Park and Planetarium and carring up to 1,300 people every hour at a speed of 1,6 m per second. This chairlift is 6 km long.

Summary: The biggest inner city Park is located in Poland not in Ireland.
