MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 24, 2025

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor J. Spear

"Could the Manager please consider installing an area for small dog breeds adjacent to the dog park installed in Ballymount Park, Kingswood, Tallaght, similar to Corkagh Park?" I understand that the intent is that the dog park is for all breeds, but sometimes it's not safe to co-mingle small breeds with larger breeds, so residents are asking for a small breed space.

REPLY:

The existing dog park in Ballymount Park was designed to accommodate all breeds within a single, open space. The footprint of the facility is not large enough to subdivide without significantly reducing the overall usability and exercise space for dogs.
