    good to see the site being slowly offered out to the public. Don't they (the council) have plans to create a walking/running path (around 5km distance) there also? I know they ran a race there last year but it was still a little rough around the edges then.

    The plans they have for the place are pretty ambitious! I was at the race last year & must admit was hoping it would be open in some fashion at least by now.

    It is also planned to have an iconic statue or sculpture at the park’s high point that could rival the Dublin Spire or the Angel Of The North in Britain.


    The Stump in the Dump :D

    We had better not hold our breaths for this to happen especially considering that Zones H2, F,G,G1 and H1 are not even in the City Council's jurisdiction.

    i thought they were extending the existing boundary to bring douglas/grange into the city?
