Cllr Damian O’Farrell (Ind) and Finian McGrath (Ind) T.D are absolutely delighted to announce the news that the new playground will be built this year in Fairview Park this. This is the best news we've heard regarding facilities in the Fairview /Marino area for years.
The residents were promised the reinstatement of their playground as soon as the Tunnel works were completed. The Tunnel completion was more than two years ago and this news is very well deserved and long overdue. We have been assured that the envisaged playground will be a ‘flagship’ playground in terms of quality and design and that the Parks and Landscapes Services Division are excited about the development of the Playground.
Dublin City Council has received notice of the NRA capital allocation for 2010 for DCC. There is sufficient scope within the allocation for the agreed sum of € 1.6m towards the reinstatement of the pavilion and playground facilities at Fairview Park.
Work has commenced at the park with regard to the provision of a dressing room pavilion facility, which is scheduled to be available for use at the commencement of the 2010/2011 playing season. The Parks and Landscape Services Division are currently preparing specific proposals for the permanent playground and seasonal bedding scheme layout and will put the completed specification and design drawings to tender as soon as possible following a community consultation process planned for the March/April 2010 period. It is currently anticipated that construction of the playground element of the project will take place in the late Summer/Autumn period of 2010. |
