About Ballyogan Wood
Ballyogan Wood opened in 2010 along with the rest of the run from Sandyford down to Brides Glen. It is the stop for the residential area of Ballyogan and for Carrickmines Park, and it takes the form most of this stretch takes: edge platforms at the side of Ballyogan Road, with the track in its own reserved strip alongside.
It also marks the point where the extension stops behaving like a roadside tramway. Heading towards town the trams stay beside Ballyogan Road; heading away from it they turn left, cross the M50 motorway on a bridge and rejoin the old Harcourt Street railway alignment before running on to Brides Glen. Southbound trams all go through to the end of the line, while most of those travelling the other way continue to Broombridge and some finish at Parnell. Carrickmines is the first call after the motorway crossing.

What is near Ballyogan Wood
Little is recorded at the platforms themselves beyond a TK Maxx about 350 m away, which gives a fair idea of the character of the area: roadside retail and housing rather than a village centre. Carrickmines Park is the other draw within reach on foot. There is no car park and no cycle parking at the stop, so arrivals are on foot or by the L27 bus that calls here.
