Herzog Park, Public park in Rathgar, Ireland
Herzog Park is a public recreational space in Rathgar featuring ten floodlit tennis courts, a practice wall, a clubhouse, and a small wooded section. The facilities are situated within a residential neighborhood and designed for community sports activities.
Dublin Corporation acquired this site in 1954 and transformed a former limestone quarry into a public recreational area. The location was originally called Orwell Quarry Park before being renamed in 1995.
The park was named in 1995 after Chaim Herzog, a man who grew up in Dublin before becoming President of Israel. The name reflects a connection between the city and this international figure.
The park operates with seasonal hours, opening at 10:00 with closing times between 17:00 in winter and 22:00 during summer months. Visitors should check the current season to confirm facility availability before planning a visit.
The tennis facility includes a specialized practice wall where players can train independently without requiring a partner. This feature enables solo training and offers a useful alternative to traditional court play.
