Donard Park, Public park in Newcastle, Northern Ireland
Donard Park extends along the Glen River at the base of Slieve Donard mountain, featuring walking paths through wooded areas and open green spaces.
The Annesley family transferred the park's ownership to Newcastle residents, with the local council assuming responsibility for its maintenance and development.
The park connects to ancient Irish heritage through its location near Slieve Donard mountain, which holds deep significance in regional mythology.
The park includes car parking facilities, electric vehicle charging stations, picnic areas, football fields, and hockey pitches for sports activities.
Members of the U.S. Army 5th Infantry Division used Donard Park as a preparation base before their deployment to D-Day operations in 1943.
