Public Consultation: Love our Place

As part of the DL Central Active Travel project, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (DLRCC), is once again partnering with stakeholder engagement specialist, A Playful City (building on the success of the Love Our Laneways project in Sallynoggin) to lead a community placemaking project “Love Our Place.”

The Love Our Place project is focused on sections of the active travel route currently being developed along Kill Avenue as part of the ongoing Dún Laoghaire Central Active Travel project (currently under construction following the Part 8 planning process).

This initiative will bring fresh energy to three important public spaces along the route, making them more vibrant, welcoming, and community friendly.

Running until December 2025, this project aims to meaningfully engage local community and key stakeholders to co-create design and way-finding interventions that improve the experience, accessibility and usability of the route.

The engagement project will focus on three key areas:

○ The laneway off Kill Avenue that leads onto St Patrick’s Terrace

○ Rose Park opposite IADT

○ The pavement area at Bakers Corner

Through local partnerships, participatory workshops and outreach activities, A Playful City will gather insights and test ideas that will help shape playful and community-driven design interventions in these spaces.

The A Playful City team will begin by outreaching to local residents and stakeholders and has confirmed partnerships with various courses at the Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT) and with local schools.

There will be opportunities to attend community events, please keep an eye out for flyers and posters in the area.
