Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council are proposing to develop sports and community facilities at the Bray Road entrance to Cabinteely Park.

These include the development of a single storey changing pavilion of circa 50 square metres, the restoration of the gate lodge, and a general upgrade of the entrance to include paving, planting, seating, bike stands, drainage and all ancillary works.

The gate lodge will be faithfully restored for community usage in accordance with conservation principles under the direction of a grade 1 conservation Architect. It will include meeting rooms, a small kitchenette and a toilet. The poorly constructed modern extension will be demolished so that the building can standalone again in the parkland setting.

The existing entrance will be enhanced with natural stone paving, appropriate  ornamental planting, seating and other street furniture. The use of sustainable urban drainage will be incorporated
