MEETING OF CLONDALKIN, NEWCASTLE, RATHCOOLE, SAGGART AND BRITTAS AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.15

MOTION: Councillor T. Gilligan

This Area Committee calls for 2 - 3 tennis courts to be installed in either Corkagh park or another location in Clondalkin, similar to Dodder Tennis Courts. 

REPORT:

Public Realm have consulted with the Community Section Active South Dublin Team, and the tennis courts that were previously located at Clondalkin Leisure Centre were removed due to disrepair and a low level of demand.  The experience in provision of tennis courts has been variable, with only a low number of the courts provided getting a high level of use.  Previous discussions with Tennis Ireland has confirmed this experience, and they recommended that additional tennis courts be provided in Lucan.  Three tennis courts were opened in 2025 at Airlie Park. 

The next tennis court provision in the area will be in Griffeen Valley Park Extension as part of the Clonburris development.  Three tennis courts will be provided as part of the park development.
