We asked

On the 28th October 2025, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council invited the public to make submissions regarding two new proposed play spaces in Loughlinstown Linear Park, Dublin 18. One play space is proposed for children and the other is for teenagers (a “teen space”).    

This public consultation survey ran from 28th October until 16th December 2025. The feedback received is now feeding into a brief and specification for the Play and Teen spaces, which will be tendered for construction during 2026.   

 

The aims of the consultation were to:

The surveys for each play space have been analysed and the summary of the findings are within the attached reports. These reports will be included within the tender documents, and it is essential that the most desired play elements for both play spaces will be included within the designs. Thus, the ideas and views of the local community will influence both designs. 

We will provide further updates on these play spaces through the DLR website in due course.
