MEETING OF LUCAN/PALMERSTON/NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 10

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive for an updated timeline of the Tandy's Lane Park and Airlie Park. Given that Tandy's lane is due to be opened first and a number of new facilities are included, if a list of facilities could be provided in the report indicating when they will be available to the community for use.

REPLY:

The Tandy's lane project commenced works in January 2020 and it was anticipated that construction works would be completed at the end of March 2021. The anticipated opening date is dependant on the establishment of seeding and planting. The establishment period is heavily weather dependant and, therefore, it is not possible to state an official opening date at this juncture. In addition, the recent Government public health restrictions have slowed down site progress and the official site opening will also be dependant on how the current public health pandemic evolves. 

Tandy's Lane Park includes community facilities such as: 1 no. size GAA grass pitch, 2 no. soccer pitches, 4 no. playgrounds, fitness equipment, walking and cycling paths, hard and soft landscaping.

The Airlie Park project commenced works in Q3 2020 and it was anticipated that construction works would be completed at the end of Q4 2021. A decision on an official opening date is considered premature at this juncture. 

The Airlie Park project includes community facilities such as: 1 no. GAA artificial pitch, 2 no. soccer artificial pitches, 4 no. playgrounds, 2 no. tennis courts, 1 cricket pitch, walking and cycling paths, hard and soft landscaping.
