Council releases its quarterly update of Capital Projects

THE construction of Adamstown Library is due to commence in late 2024, while the programme for the Killinarden Park Regeneration Project is currently being finalised.

This is according to a quarterly update on South Dublin County Council’s Capital Projects, which was released at a council meeting on Monday afternoon.

Other updates provided included the imminent closure of the second phase of the tender process for Citywest Library, while Airlie Park in Lucan is expected to be fully finished and open next month.

A contractor has been appointed to commence the Corkagh Park Improvement Works this month, while the first phase of the Whitestown Stream Amenity Works is now complete.

The tender process is nearing completion for the second phase of Kiltipper Park, which will include footpaths, signage, planting, viewing area and a playground, with works expected to start by September 2023.

Tenders for works at St Cuthbert’s Park will be issued this month with a view to works commencing in Autumn 2023.

Part 8 approvals are also now in place for upgrades to both Quarryvale Park and Jobstown Park, so the council is progressing detailed design work on these projects to allow them to progress to tender.

The Sean Walsh Park astro pitch will open this month and public consultation has now closed in the Part 8 process for the Knocklyon Park all-weather pitch.

The Teen Space Programme has seen recent completions at Griffeen Valley, Bancroft and Avonbeg MUGA.

Tenders are now progressing for phase three of the programme, while the Dodder Valley BMX Pump Track was opened last month.

The council added that it is preparing to re-tender for Griffeen and Corkagh Park pavilions and are also progressing design work for the Whitechurch sports facility.
