MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, June 16, 2021

MOTION NO. 22

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"That this Area Committee calls on the Chief Executive to state the number of benches that are currently in the Clondalkin Park (Leisure Centre) and discuss the installation of additional seating benches that would allow people to observe both the Camac and the Mill Ponds."

REPORT:

There are 9 benches in Clondalkin Park.  Two of the benches are located at the front entrance to the Leisure Centre.  The remaining 7 are located within the playground.  A review of the footpaths beside the River Camac will be carried out to see if a suitable location(s) can be identified for the installation of a bench(es).  The Mill Ponds are protected by a combination of vegetation and fencing which prevents access and provides limited visibility.  It would not be possible to install a bench in the vicinity of the Mill Ponds that would facilitate the observation of the ponds.
