The upgrade of the BUTLER MCGEE PARK will consist of:
Four formal entry plazas at:
the Cheeverstown Road and Cookstown Road junction, linking with Jobstown Park.
the Cookstown Road and Maplewood Road Junction
the northeastern corner of the park, adjacent to the southern boundary of St. Mark’s GAA club, leading out on to Cookstown Road.
the Drumcairn Avenue and Drumcairn Parade junction.
Main spine routes, shared pedestrian/cycle with formal signature trees and park lights, along the eastern boundary, linking Butler McGee Park to Jobstown Park and the Luas stops, and east-west through the park connecting Drumcairn with the Fortunestown Shopping Centre.
Controlled access gates to be installed at all entrances
All existing sports pitches, except for Pitch 80, retained with some realignment and refurbished where necessary with drainage and re-levelling.
Provision for active recreation – e.g. Teenspace, with facilities such as skate park (with floodlighting), basketball court and fitness area, and natural play area with large climbing feature wall.
A Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) with floodlighting.
A 35m long x 6m high ball wall, with hard paving to one side and floodlighting
Activity circuit (Park Run) - with seats and play/fitness equipment.
A dog park enclosed with post and rail fencing with wire mesh.
Relocation of a 220m length of the northeastern boundary to incorporate the grass verge to the road into the park, allowing for more room between the proposed path and the pitches.
Biodiversity improvements - existing hedgerow relocated/replaced and supplemented with meadowland management and planting of bulbs and formal and informal tree groups.
Attenuation basins and possible swales associated with the pitch drainage which will also contribute to enhanced biodiversity.
All associated landscape works.
All ancillary works.
