Herzog Park (Irish: Páirc Herzog)[1] is a park located in Rathgar, Dublin.

History

[edit]

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

[edit]

Herzog Park is home to Rathgar Tennis Club and has 10 all weather floodlit tennis courts, a tennis wall and a clubhouse.[3]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
