MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, April 14, 2025

QUESTION NO. 17

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive what his view is of an idea to create one lane 100m sprint tracks in public parks, for training purposes? See attached photo montage.

REPLY:

There is no budget allocated for the proposed facilities at present, however the proposal will be considered as part of the review of recreational amenities currently being planned throughout the county in association with Active South Dublin. The proposal may meet a need for sprint training within parks, the review can best establish if such a facility would be well used or not; and if so, where best to locate same.  Where a need is identified; suitable sites will be chosen and costs and budgets assessed and agreed.
