QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor E. Murphy

Can the Council please provide an update on the locations and timescales for opening for the new playspaces in Dodder Valley Park?

REPLY:

The playspace at the Old Bawn end of Dodder Park is completed and was opened prior to Christmas.  The playground at Mt Carmel is substantially complete. Public Realm are arranging to assess the accessibility of a number of features and if satisfactory the safety inspection will be arranged and the facility opened without delay.  It is likely that it will be open in the second week of February.  The large embankment slide has been completed and grass has been laid.  Once we are satisfied that the grass has established we will ask for the fencing to be removed. This is obviously very weather dependant and removing the fencing too soon could result in very muddy conditions.   

Works on the playground at Cherryfield are due to commence shortly and we expect to open it in early April, in time for the school Easter holidays.
