Parks: Shanganagh23 - Proposed Sports Area

Closed 22 May 2023

Opened 6 Apr 2023

Overview

Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council are currently accepting public submissions and observations on plans for development of Shanganagh Park Phase 1 (Part VIII). These latest plans were published on 6th April 2023, with revisions made based on community feedback received during consultation activity earlier this year, replacing any previously presented plans.

In an effort to balance active and passive recreation in the park we are proposing:

  • To develop one multi- use grass pitch in the proposed new active recreation zone, with floodlighting on the new pitch to increase playable hours
  • Preserving a larger portion of the central meadow space for more passive recreation and biodiversity protection, with additional tree planting
  • Continuing with the proposal for a combined cricket/baseball area, a new athletics sprint track (with floodlights) and a basketball/calisthenics area
  • Maintaining plans to improve accessibility to the east of the park with upgrades to bridge crossing, additional seating, natural play space etc.

The public consultation period for these plans will run from 6th April 2023 to 22nd May 2023 inclusive. During this time, any individual or organisation can submit their observations using the following channels.
