Several of Dublin's parks are home to a unique assortment of outdoor sculptures—part of the Art in Public Places collection, established by the Dublin Arts Council. In 1988, the council developed the program to enhance the quality of life for residents and to establish a public art tour throughout the city to attract visitors. It has since become a nationally recognized program. The series includes a {{convert|12|ft|m|abbr=on}} tall stone portrait of local legend "Leatherlips" created by [[Ralph Helmick]]; ''[[Field of Corn]]'', featuring 109 human-sized cement ears of corn that stand in one Dublin field; and a copper house that honors the region's Native American culture.

Ballantrae Park is located at the entrance of its namesake subdivision. Sitting upon a {{convert|20|ft|adj=on}} tall hillock, there is a {{convert|15|ft|m|adj=on}} bronze sculpture called ''Dancing Hares'' or ''Giant Dancing Rabbits''.<ref>{{cite web
