QUESTION NO.3

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed report on playing facility improvement works being carried out in 2016, including pitch and goal mouth repairs, drainage improvement, installation of goal posts and installation of storage facilities

REPLY:

The following works are being progressed in respect of playing facilities:

Hermitage Park

Drainage design / costings
Provision of storage compound

Willsbrook Park

Car parking at Hayden’s Lane to be examined;
- Key access to be arranged or automated gates to be provided
- Examine possibility of extending carpark – c 50 additional spaces required.

Arthur Griffith Park

Examining request for juvenile goals across AGP Pitch 1
Examining provision of cage at AGP Pitches 1, 2, or 3

Jobstown Park

We are currently investigating the drainage works requirements to pitches in Jobstown Park. Some of the work in Jobstown Park will be carried out in the current year.

Rathcoole Park

Drainage works requirements are being examined for pitches in Rathcoole Park. However with Water main works relating to the Leixlip Saggart Pipeline Scheme due to commence in Rathcoole Park this year it is unlikely that drainage work to that pitch will be done at this time.

Greenhills Park

Examining the provision of a storage compound in Greenhills Park, with the local club offering to cover half the cost of this facility.

There are multiple requests across the County for this type of facility and it is likely that we will need to consider the overall requirement for this in the context of the 2017 budget provision, as it has not been provided for in 2016.

Goal Post Replacement/Maintenance

Goal post replacement and/or maintenance works have been carried out or are scheduled for locations in Dodder Valley Park, Tymon Park, Rathcoole Park, Killinarden Park, Jobstown Park, Fettercairn, Beech Park, Butler McGee Park, Arhtur Griffith Park and Aylesbury.
