Herzog Park

Herzog Park is a park located in Rathgar, Dublin.

History

Dublin Corporation acquired the site in 1954 on a long term lease. However, the modern park was set out in 1985 by the Parks Department and was then known as Orwell Quarry Park.[1]

The park was renamed in 1995 in honour of Chaim Herzog, President of Israel, who grew up in Dublin. The renaming of the park also coincided with the tri-millennium of Jerusalem.[1]

Sports Facilities

Herzog Park is home to Rathgar Tennis Club and has 10 all weather floodlit tennis courts, a tennis wall and a clubhouse.[2]
