Albert College Park, Public park in Glasnevin, Ireland

Albert College Park extends across 15 hectares of land, featuring walking paths, sports facilities, and green spaces near Dublin City University campus.

The park grounds contained the Glasnevin Model Farm in 1838, which later became an agricultural institution after Prince Albert's visit in 1853.

The National Tennis Centre within the park operates multiple courts, while local clubs use the Gaelic football and soccer fields for regular matches.

Visitors can access the park through Ballymun Road, with varied seasonal opening hours from 10:00, extending until 22:00 during summer months.

Professor Paul A. Murphy discovered the cause of the potato famine at this location in 1927, identifying the potato blight fungus.
