Parks: Proposed Development at Cabinteely Park

Overview

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is proposing to develop a sports and community facilities at the Bray Road entrance to Cabinteely Park. These comprise the development of a single storey changing pavilion of circa 50 square metres, the restoration of the gate lodge, and a general upgrade of the entrance to include paving, planting, seating, bike stands, drainage and all ancillary works.

A new changing pavilion building (approximately 50 square metres) is proposed to the north of the existing gatelodge. This will include two changing rooms with team storage areas, an accessible toilet and small plant rooms. The structure will be a high-quality timber framed modular unit with robust aluminium doors, zinc seamed or fibreglass roof with skylights and external cedar cladding. It will include photo-voltaic panels on the roof and incorporate rainwater harvesting. 

The gate lodge will be faithfully restored for community usage in accordance with conservation principles under the direction of a grade 1 conservation Architect. It will include meeting rooms, a small kitchenette and a toilet. The poorly constructed modern extension will be demolished so that the building can standalone again in the parkland setting.

The existing entrance will be enhanced with natural stone paving, appropriate  ornamental planting, seating and other street furniture. The use of sustainable urban drainage will be incorporated.
