LIFFEY VALLEY PARK (LEIXLIP-TO-CELBRIDGE): PUBLIC SURVEY
Kildare County Council has published a public survey so that you can help us develop our understanding of the River Liffey corridor between Leixlip and Celbridge, and the way that it might be developed in the future for the benefit of the local community and visitors to the area. Kildare County Council is exploring the potential for the provision of a Liffey Valley Park between Leixlip and Celbridge, extending over approximately 6.35km between St. Catherine’s Park, Leixlip to Celbridge Bridge, Co. Kildare. If delivered, this would be the first phase of a potentially wider Liffey Valley Park within County Kildare that is rooted in the Liffey Valley Park Strategy (2006).
This strategy presents a vision for access opportunities to a “necklace” of (mainly) public lands along the River Liffey to provide for the recreational needs of the area and help to conserve the biodiversity and amenity value of the river corridor. This Strategy was developed by the Office of Public Works and the Local Authorities of Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin and Kildare. Work on a Feasibility Study has commenced and this will be completed in 2025, which will evaluate the opportunity and deliverability of the proposed park.
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 tourist visitors alike.
Submit your thoughts and ideas. Collaboration is an important aspect of this project. Kildare County Council is seeking to gather information and views from people who live, visit or work in or near Leixlip and Celbridge. This is why Kildare County Council is launching an on-line survey to hear from as many voices as possible. Share your insights and help shape the future of the Liffey Valley Park between Celbridge and Leixlip by completing this questionnaire.
