QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive Officer for an update on the works needed to complete the wall ball at Griffeen Park Newcastle road. This amenity is very popular and the basketball nets are been well used, as previously advised the wall ball use is restricted by the basketball net. If there are diagrams / pictures available to accompany this report it would be appreciated as it's difficult to explain to the public what still needs to be done.

REPLY:

The ball wall amenity is extremely well used and as outlined the basketball net is very popular. It is intended to move the basketball nets away from the hurling wall and reposition them on the edge of the facility, close to the boundary hedge of the park. This will create more space to use the hurling wall. This work is due to be completed by the summertime, once current restrictions are lifted.  The remainder of the works to create a teenspace will be dependant on the outcome of a consultation with local teens. At that stage, once the proposals are finalised, images of the proposals will be made available.
