Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council have launched a public consultation for the use, and features, of the Sandyford Civic Park space.

Since 2009, the commitment to develop the civic park on the corner of Corrig Road and Carmanhall Road has remained steadfast, including with considerable support from the Sandyford Business District Business Improvement District (BID) Company (established and supported by all the businesses in the District). In 2025 Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council commissioned urban design consultants, Urban Agency, to design the civic park.

The civic park will be a development that contributes to the policies of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, specifically the dlr Green Infrastructure Plan and the dlr Climate Action Plan 2024 – 2029.

A statement from Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council explained: "Leading up to the start of the design process, dlr and the Sandyford BID CLG have participated for the past two years in an EU Project, the IB Green Project. In this project 11 partners from six European countries are examining ways to increase green-blue infrastructure in large industrial and business parks in Europe, specifically to help the land owners and businesses in these parks to implement climate adaptation measures. As part of the project, the EU made funds available via the Interreg North-West Europe Territorial Cooperation Programme for the design of the civic park.

"The site for the civic park is relatively small at 0.8 hectares. Therefore space is at a premium and should be used as efficiently as possible. We would like to know from the public how they see the use of this space and also, who should be the main beneficiaries for this space."

The consultation, which will close on August 6, can be accessed here.
