The park is the site of a graveyard that was attached to St. Mary's Church, and is named for Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763–1798), who was baptised in the church. The graveyard was deconsecrated in 1966 and laid out as a green park.[2] From 1998 to 2001, Dublin City Council redeveloped the park as an "urban plaza".[3][4] The park was closed for further regeneration works in late 2020, and reopened in mid-2022.[5]
