Have Your Say! Proposed Development at The Metals Green, Dun Laoghaire Harbour

Cycling access to the park will be encouraged through the provision of bike and cargo-bike parking at the main entrances. Terraced seating along one side of the park will address the existing change in levels while offering generous opportunities for rest and informal gatherings. Sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) will be integrated to manage rainwater on site in an environmentally sensitive way. 

A new balustrade and viewing platform are also proposed along the harbour edge, enhancing people’s connection to the waterfront and supporting the area’s role as an important connection to the harbour.
