The site that Herzog Park sits on was once a quartz and limestone quarry.

Dublin Corporation acquired the site in 1954 on a long term lease. The park as we see it today was set out in 1985 by the Parks' Department of Dublin Corporation. It was then known as Orwell Quarry Park. It was renamed in 1995, the year of the tri-millennium of Jerusalem, in honour of Chaim Herzog, the then President of Israel who's father was Irish.

Ambassador Ms Dana Erlich joined our Jewish students for prayers this morning and visited adjacent Herzog Park.
