Emerald Park (Irish: Páirc Smaragaide[citation needed]) (known from its 2010 opening to 2022 as Tayto Park) is a 22.26 ha (55 acres) amusement park and zoo located in the townland of Kilbrew, County Meath, Ireland. Upon opening, the park was themed around the Irish potato crisp brand Tayto (whose factory is adjacent to the park), and was originally conceptualised by Tayto’s then owner, farmer-turned-entrepreneur Raymond Coyle (d. 2022).[2][3]
The park includes Ireland's only wooden roller coaster, a Maxi Dance Party 360, adventure playgrounds and an exotic zoo.[4][5]
