Shandon Park appeared as a minor name referring to parkland (not the street) on the 3rd edition of the OS 6" map, c. 1900.
"That on the application of the owners of property a new street off ... off Knock Road named Shandon Park...". (4th March 1902).
The name comes from the Irish words sean and dún meaning old fort. In the Shandon area, there is an old mound which according to Aidan Campbell in his book on the area, is probably a motte and is likely to date back to Norman times.
Dual language street sign (English and Irish) approved in July 2025.
