A public consultation has been launched for a proposed inclusive play space at Abbeyside in Dungarvan, County Waterford.

The project, developed by Waterford City & County Council, will include a new play area within the existing amenity space, designed to be accessible to all. Perimeter planting will create a green framework to integrate the development into the surrounding landscape.

Pedestrian pathways will provide connections to the existing boardwalk and Friar's Walk/Strandside footpath, ensuring easy access. The plans also include seating, signage, and bicycle parking to enhance the space for public use.


Submissions or observations from the public for the project may be made:

• In writing to the Director of Services Roads, Water & Environment, Waterford City & County Council, Menapia Building, The Mall, Waterford. (Submissions should be clearly marked Inclusive Play Space at Abbeyside, Dungarvan);

• By email to Envsubmissions@waterfordcouncil.ie; or

• Online

All submissions are to be received on or before 4pm on May 7.
