SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE
Wednesday, April 17, 2019
QUESTION NO. 13
QUESTION: Councillor M. Johansson
"To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on all currently proposed playgrounds/play spaces for the Clondalkin area (incl Nth Clondalkin) and indicative timelines for each including public consultation and completion?"
REPLY:
Playspace programme:
The playspace programme is nearing completion and the following playspaces in the Clondalkin area are at various stages of progression:
- Collinstown Park: Detailed design stage. Construction is to be programmed with the delivery of the teenspace project in this area in 2019.
- Newcastle: The Council is currently in negotiation with two 3rd party landowners to deliver a number of playspaces at Newcastle. A time line is difficult to indicate for these projects as they are subject to legal agreements.
Other Playgrounds:
- Corkagh Park Playground refurbishment is currently at tender stage and the tender is currently being assessed. The project is programmed to commence after the summer holidays.
- In addition a playground was proposed at Forest Hill Estate as part of the Participatory Budget in Clondalkin. The Council has agreed to meet with Forest Hill Residents Association prior to commencement of the design stage. It is hoped to meet with the Residents Association later in 2019.
