Herzog Park (Irish: Páirc Herzog)[1] 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.[2]
The park was renamed in 1995 in honour of Major-General Chaim Herzog, President of Israel, who was born in Belfast but grew up in Dublin. The renaming of the park also coincided with the tri-millennium of Jerusalem.[2]
Sports facilities
Herzog Park is home to Rathgar Tennis Club and has 10 all weather floodlit tennis courts, a tennis wall and a clubhouse.[3]
