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.
Herzog Park lies just southwest of Rathgar centre, off Orwell Road in Dublin 6, and is one of several small parks in the Rathgar and Terenure area run by Dublin City Council's Parks and Landscape Services. It has a small car park for visitors, a children's playground and a bring centre for household recycling. Rathgar Tennis Club's ten all-weather floodlit courts, tennis wall and clubhouse are within the grounds.
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.
