Archived item. This item is published here for historical reasons. The information below may be out of date.

Notice is hereby given that it is proposed to undertake improvement works in the Council owned lands at Grange for a future extension of Griffeen Valley Regional Park.  The lands which comprise 16 hectares (39 acres) are defined by the railway line on northern boundary, Hayden’s Lane on its western boundary, the Grand Canal towpath on its southern boundary and by zoned lands on the eastern boundary.  In recent years, these lands have been used as a composting area for green waste material and when the compost is removed by April, the lands will be available for environmental and recreational use.

The proposals include the following:

• The development of four sports pitches, two soccer and two for gaelic games, to include soil importation and drainage.
• Provision is included for one of the four pitches to be developed as an all-weather facility and this is subject to the implementation of a joint venture in the future with sports clubs.
• The construction of a building to cater for the various needs of the park, to include changing rooms and toilets.
• The construction of a car park (110 spaces)adjacent to the building
• The construction of an equipped playground for children.
• The development of wetlands, including lakes and marshes and woodlands
• The construction of over 2,000 linear metres of pedestrian pathways.
• The construction of 1400 linear metres of designated cycleways to link with existing and proposed green routes that will include access along the canal banks.
• Improvement of existing and proposed boundaries and provision of entrances.
