MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 24, 2025

MOTIONS NO.3

MOTIONS: Councillor N. Whelan

"This Area Committee requests that the play space at Aylesbury field is upgraded with additional equipment?"

REPORT:

Aylesbury Playground was originally installed in 2015 and received a major upgrade in 2022 and it is very well used. SDCC has recently adopted a new Play Policy – The Nature of Play under which upgrades and extensions to existing playspaces can be considered.  The Public Realm team is currently preparing proposals to present to Councillors, outlining options for implementing this new Play Policy and seeking input. It is expected that this programme will be discussed with Councillors in advance of the next Tallaght Area Committee Meeting.

The Council remains committed to meeting the play needs of all children growing up in the county. In line with the Play Policy, decisions on future investments should be based on a strategic assessment of areas of highest need and where local demand has been identified.
