The project consists of three elements:
1.3rd Generation synthetic pitch
2.Civic Park
3.Adventure play area
The synthetic pitch will be approximately 140x100 m, floodlit and with perimeter, ball stop and spectator fencing/ railing. It is to accommodate match play for Association Football, Gaelic Football and Rugby Union. A planning application has already been submitted for the pitch and a decision is due in early 2014.(check Peter).
The civic park will be approximately 19 000 m² and incorporate an open-air performance space, hard and soft landscaping, public art, lighting and potentially, a water feature.
The adventure play area will be approximately 9 600 m² and is to incorporate equipment suitable for children and young people with a wide range of abilities. The play equipment is to be designed within a landscaped setting, making use of the existing topography and planting.
