Liffey Valley Park (Celbridge to Leixlip) Public Survey 2025
Did you know that there is a Strategy to deliver a Liffey Valley Park aimed at establishing the Liffey Valley as a recognized asset for the benefit of local communities and visitors to the area?
Would you like to have more accessible amenities along the River Liffey?
Would you like to see connections between the River Liffey and local amenities or destinations?
Kildare County Council has published details of emerging proposals for a Liffey Valley Park (Celbridge Bridge to St. Catherine’s Park, Leixlip) and is seeking input from the public on the suggested options.
The study area extends for approximately 6.35km between Celbridge Bridge to St. Catherine’s Park, Leixlip. The vision is to provide for the recreational needs of the area, help conserve the biodiversity and amenity value of the river corridor and connect to amenities in the locality and adjoining areas of South Dublin and Fingal. At this stage, Kildare County Council is preparing a feasibility study to test ideas and determine a preferred option for the project. While it is still at an early stage in the process, public opinions are welcomed on the emerging ideas.
The project is supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS), which provides for the detailed development of projects with the objective of providing for new outdoor recreational infrastructure and/or, the enhancement of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure, to contribute to healthy active lifestyles. It also supports the economic and tourism potential of the area for both local communities and visitors alike.
Submit your thoughts and ideas.
The project is now at ‘options’ stage and Kildare County Council is now seeking help in gathering further information and views from people who live, visit or work in or near Celbridge and Leixlip to help shape the project as it progresses towards the selection of a preferred option. Following a successful public consultation event in Celbridge Library on Tuesday 8 April, Kildare County Council would like to offer those who were unable to attend the event the opportunity to review the proposed options and provide insights and feedback.
