Project	Update
Intergenerational Outdoor Activity Spaces in Glenasmole	The Council is working with Glenasmole Community in developing the plans for the Intergenerational Space. Current plans include funding a MUGA for the site, works on which are due to commence in Q2, if possible in regards to COVID-19 restrictions.
Nature Trail along the river Dodder	The nature trail signage at Dodder Valley Park was installed before Christmas. There are some finishing works still to take place and these are scheduled for as soon as COVID-19 restrictions have been eased.
Health and Wellbeing Garden in Firhouse Community Centre	Discussions taking place on how best to progress this project during the current COVID-19 restrictions.
Playground Facilities at Ballycragh Park	Equipment has been ordered for the playground facilities, but works were delayed at the beginning of the year due to the country entering Level 5 lockdown over Christmas. Anticipate works beginning on site in Q2 but this is dependent on the situation with COVID-19 and easing of restrictions.
