Plans for a new project at Naul Village Park in County Dublin have reached a key milestone.
Fingal County Council's Parks & Green Infrastructure Division is now liaising with stakeholders to agree a vision for the sustainable development which is sensitive to and reflective of the cultural, historical and natural heritage of the site.
Under the proposal, the new Naul Village Park development will include the provision of an arrival space paved in natural stone, a village green which serves as a centrepiece, along with a high-quality playground and fitness area featuring state-of-the-art equipment. Other elements of the project are a reflection garden and a parking area with electric car charging.
The Naul Village Park Development Project will deliver a multifunctional community outdoor space which reflects the unique heritage of the locality, and promotes biodiversity and sustainability. The proposed village park will become an integral feature of Naul, a place which contributes to the unique character of the village and one in which all the community can come together for events and general amenity.
Stakeholder and public engagement are central to the project. Information meetings were held in April and July of this year with local representatives and stakeholders. Following the consultation meetings, the feedback and comments received have been considered and are reflected in the current proposal. Building on the successful community consultations held to date, the council encourages feedback and comment on the proposed Naul Village Park Development between 14 September and 27 October.
Mayor of Fingal, Cllr Seána Ó Rodaigh said: "The proposed Naul Village Park Development Project will be a fantastic community meeting point and provide recreational facilities for young and old ranging from the playground inspired by An Aill to the village green and reflection garden."
Chief Executive of Fingal, AnnMarie Farrelly added: "I am pleased to see the Naul Village Park Development Project reach the formal planning stage and the Council welcomes continued engagement from the public. This Park development is a continuation of the Council's commitment to provide accessible sustainable outdoor recreation facilities designed in consultation with the local communities and in keeping with the heritage of the area."
