The park is located on Ballymun Road in northern Glasnevin, next to the main campus of Dublin City University (DCU), and has been called an "oasis" in the area.

This was the original building, used from 1838 by Glasnevin Model Farm (sometimes called The Glasnevin Institute) prior to its being renamed Albert College, and the development in 1851 of the larger, Albert College Building.

A listed building, owned by Dublin City Council, it was used by community groups for a while, however it fell into disuse and was boarded up.

The toilets are located in the Tram Café, which opened in 2021 in the previously disused courtyard of Cuilin House.
