COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE
Tuesday, October 28, 2025
QUESTION NO. 1
QUESTION: Councillor P. Holohan
"Is there an update on the plans for a community garden/sensory area in the park next to Jobstown community centre?"
REPLY:
The playground beside Jobstown Community Centre was inspected by an independent ROSPA-certified playground inspector, who found the equipment to be unfit for purpose due to extensive vandalism. Despite being secured, the site continues to attract anti-social behaviour, with individuals forcing entry and congregating there.
The Council intends to decommission the existing playground and reinstate the area as an open green space, as new and enhanced playgrounds have already been delivered in Jobstown Park, Killinarden Park, Whitestown Stream Park, and Kiltalown Park. Once reinstated, the area will remain available for future consideration, should an appropriate project and budget be identified and agreed in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
