New €1.29m community centre planned for Tymon Park

A budget of €1.29m has been pledged by South Dublin County Council to develop an Intergenerational Centre at Tymon Park.

The centre will serve as a “multi-use facility that is adaptable to a variety of purposes, such as age-friendly and community groups.

Plans for the centre show that there will be several large function rooms, a multi-functional community space, a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating, and an outdoor sheltered terrace which can be used as an outdoor cinema or host other events.

“The landscape plan for the proposed facility ensures the building is integrated into the parkland setting; the landscape plan realigns the vehicular route; upgrading the walking route into the park from Wellington Road and providing an enhanced pedestrian entrance to the park; putting the emphasis on pedestrian/wheelchair access,” according to the local autority.

The preliminary design for the project is currently being finalised and, once complete, it is intended to commence the Part 8 stage in 2021.
