COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.15

MOTION: Councillor N. Fennell

Old tower football club have reported that they have approached the council to use Quarryvale Park as the council have recently refurbished the park with a football pitch. They have reported that they need changing room facilities and a place to store their football equipment. Can the council please inspect this issue and come up with a solution?

REPORT:

The recently developed pitch in Quarryvale Park is in the establishment phase and will not be available for allocation until 2026. Goal posts will be installed on the pitch prior to allocation which will eliminate the need for a goal post storage compound. 

SDCC’s pavilion programme was agreed by the Council as part of its commitment to the health and well-being of its citizens. A review of the pavilion programme was carried out and presented to the Council in April 2024. The review process identified a requirement for additional capital provision, which was approved for the 2025 budget. The programme will deliver sports changing rooms at 10 locations across the county, to facilitate groups using adjacent pitches / sport in parks as set out in the list below: 

• Griffeen Valley Park 
• Corkagh Park ORR 
• Collinstown Park
• Kilnamanagh Open Space
• Dodder Valley Mt Carmel
• Griffeen Valley / Arthur Griffith Park
• Tymon Park South 
• Sean Walsh Park Artificial Pitch
• Kiltipper Park
• Willsbrook Park

Quarryvale Park is not listed for a pavilion in the current programme.
