Shanganagh Park & Cemetery Public Information Sessions

DLR County Council to hold public information sessions on planned Phase 1 development of Shanganagh Park and Cemetery

Ahead of submission of Phase 1 planning permission in early 2023, DLR County Council want to ensure local community are fully informed on proposed development of new sports facilities in the park.

UPDATE: Please note that the format of the upcoming session on Saturday 21st has been changed based on community feedback from the session on Tuesday 17th. There will now be a presentation and Q&A segment with dlr staff from 2:30pm – 4:00pm, with the drop in exhibition and worksheet table continuing for the duration of the session. We would appreciate you helping us to communicate this change to local friends and neighbours.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council intends to reapply for planning permission for the addition of an active recreation zone in Shanganagh Park in February 2023. These plans form part of Phase 1 of redevelopment in line with the 2019 Masterplan for the park and adjoining Shanganagh Cemetery complex.

Ahead of this submission and the start of the Part 8 process, DLR County Council will be holding two public information sessions at Woodbrook College, Bray on Tuesday, January 17th from 6:30pm until 8:30pm, and Saturday, January 21st from 2:00pm until 5:30pm. These sessions aim to ensure that all members of the Shanganagh Park community are fully informed on what Phase 1 will involve and how this aligns with the longer-term goals for the park. A detailed outline of the planned development in Phase 1 will be provided and the local community will have the opportunity to clarify any queries they may have. All are welcome to attend, with activities for children and young people included. Those interested in attending can find out more and register for updates on the DLR website here.

Shankill and the surrounding areas have seen a huge growth in population in recent years and will continue to welcome new residents into the future. The 2019 Masterplan sets out to ensure that Shanganagh Park continues to play an important role in the growing community, by providing a wide range of amenities for the diverse users of the park. Community consultations during the Masterplan development identified a huge strain on sporting facilities in the area. Also noted during this process was the importance of maintaining wild open spaces in the park for the important role they play in biodiversity and overall park enjoyment for non-sports users.

The consultation timeline is visible below, or you can view the file here in greater detail.
