Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has announced that work on phase 2 of the Samuel Beckett Civic Campus in Ballyogan will begin this summer.

The expansion will include the development of a new sports building with a swimming pool; an events area within the re-landscaped civic space; a park connecting the playing pitches with viewing benches and spectator areas; a change of use of the current sports and community building to a libraries and communities building; and a two-storey car park.

The completed expansion is expected to be open by the summer of 2021.

Currently the Civic Campus has a community centre, creche and leisure facilities. The outdoor spaces consist of three grass sports pitches and three synthetic sports pitches, a children's playground and skate area, an attenuation pond, a landscaped civic space and a 100 space car park.

Phase 1 was completed in February 2016.
