That comes as no surprise! When i started skating in the late 80s, early nineties, we were promised 3 parks, aparrently the mony was made available and all that, 1 for marly park, 1 for fairview and 1 for raheny, then because of similar fears THEY CANCELLED ALL PLANS! That is why i am a firm believer in building and supporting our own. It seems to b the only way things get done!

Every other country to the south, north, east and west have at least 3+ skateparks spread throughout their cities ( when comparing places that are about the same size of Dublin and are free to use too, you'll probably find drinking water provided too, I feel privileged having moved country) with practically ANY sports complex having at the very least, a nice midi/mini ramp for all flavours of skating.

The Irish are as pitiful as ever in providing any facilities for young people looking to try something out -- apart from pubs and soccer/hurling pitches of course, which go hand in hand and they see there being a genuine need for. :rolleyes:

They see it as a fad or something equally pathetic because there's nothing better than the GAA and getting pissed daily according to their standards. Just watch Bertie stumbling out of Fagans, pissed as a coot on a regular basis. That gives us a nice idea of where most of the politicians priorities lie.

I wish you luck and I'll give you a tip that helped me survive our supposedly equal to the rest of the euro economies and infrastructure....

Don't get your hopes up and you won't get dissapointed

If you want a park you'll need to get out of pocket or go harranging politicians by the hoardes until they start to recognise there is a genuine need for it, then they MIGHT contemplate providing for it.

Likelihood is still next to nothing that it will happen because there are more important things such as bertie bowl and another soccer pitch that need some attention, after they've recovered from that hangover, AGAIN!

Depressing just thinking about it.

yeah i know wat ure sayin which is y i havent got my hopes up :cool:

On a meeting on Monday may 10th 2005 south Dublin Couty Council officially agreed to build Dublins 1st local authority skate Park in Lucan on a Pilot Basis, After ongoing meetings with residents of Ash Park housing estate who where afraid that there would be too much anti-Social Behaviour.

shagman

Yeah lads it's all true I got a call from Lance Colleran (Sth Dublin CoCo) to say they'd be putting it out to tender in the next few weeks. Now the tough bit making sure they get the right people to design + build it and so we don't end up with another waterford style joke.

wideangle

True true,was reading in ride bmx mag that alot of the council parks over there end up being built by playground companies that dont have a clue about skatepark construction.Lets hope that doesnt happen here.Would they concider getting the tender advertised europe wide so people with a clue can apply to build it!!! :cool:

asto

Park went to tender to-day Hooray

smois

oh yeah

asto

Just wonderin who in this forum is from Lucan if you are whats your real name

smois

my main concern aboot da lucan skatepark is.....because it is da first council skatepark in da greater dublin area does dat mean dat other parks being built(bushy park,dun laoighre etc) will learn from lucans mistakes...as shagman said we need to get the right ppl to build and desighn it
