Street Map of Ballsbridge, with Herbert Park to the southwest.

Ballsbridge, in Irish Droichead na Dothra, is a suburb of Dublin, Ireland, named for the bridge spanning the River Dodder on the south side of the city. From the bridge, Ballsbridge extends southwards along the Merrion Road towards Merrion and Booterstown. The RDS has its grounds here, as does the IRFU. Herbert Park is here too, forming part of Ballsbridge's nebulous border with Donnybrook.

The bulk of Dublin's embassies and many diplomatic residences are located in the southern part of Ballsbridge on and around Ailesbury Road.

Ailesbury Road, along with adjacent Shrewsbury Road comprise the purple (most expensive) properties in the Dublin edition of the board-game Monopoly.

Leatherman!
If you're in Herbert Park (or "Pervert Park", if you prefer) for a picnic this summer, look out for its most famous resident, "Leatherman". Roasted by the sun to a deep leathery brown on the front, he's white as the driven snow on the back. One of the natural wonders of Ballsbridge!
