The Iveagh Gardens were laid out as exhibition gardens during the 19th century, with many unusual and unique garden features such as the Maze, Rosarium, Cascade, Grottoes and the sunken Archery Grounds. These are designated as a National Historic Park and the features are designed primarily for passive recreation. It is not proposed to designate any area for the pursuit of sport.
