Improve Fairview Park

posted 16 Apr 2010 08:37 by Eoin Kilfeather [ updated 17 Apr 2010 06:47 ]

Meeting: Wednesday April 21st at 7pm in Marino College

Dublin City Council Parks & Landscape Services Division are planning some proposed improvements to Fairview Park.

This will include a newly designed high quality playground, upgrading of the seasonal bedding areas and include a newly designed outdoor performance area with some public seating. We are about to start the public engagement phase which will take place during the month of April 2010. As part of this, a temporary sign will be erected in the location of the playground highlighting the new playground and seating area and the website will be regularly updated as the project progresses, and also keep an eye out for the local newspapers and notice boards in the neighbourhood. Initial layouts have been drafted at this stage and background research ranging from the feasibility of the feature bandstand to current play design ideas including the promoting the value of active recreation is being carried out by the Parks and Landscape Services Division.

It is intended that these improvements will form quite a significant modification to the park, creating an interesting focal point, and an exciting addition to Fairview Park.

Parks and Landscape Services Division welcome all thoughts, suggestions and comments in relation to the proposed improvements and are planning an open day in the Park, an evening meeting and hope to work with a couple of local schools in the coming weeks.
