Breaking new ground to mark the growing needs of community
A SOD-TURNING event took place at the 28-acre neighbourhood park in Jobstown due to be upgraded to meet the growing needs of the community.
Works are set to commence by Clonmel Enterprises Ltd which will include the upgrading of the main park entrances, a teen space area, an outdoor workout area, a pump track, an informal kick-around area, a natural playground, a dog park, a footpath exercise loop, a cycle south Dublin link that will connect to the wider cycle infrastructure as well as landscape and biodiversity improvements.
Speaking at the event, Mayor Alan Edge said: “The park will offer amenities, interconnected green infrastructure, and biodiversity enhancement, including habitats for pollinators.
“We acknowledge and thank the community for their assistance and input during the preliminary design stage and their support for this project in general. We ask them to kindly bear with us during this construction process. We will endeavour to cause as little inconvenience to them as possible. I wish all involved a safe and successful delivery of the project.”
