Councillor Francis Timmons Opens Knockmitten Playspace Upgrade

Upgrade

On Monday 25th August 2025, Councillor Francis Timmons, Area Chair for Clondalkin, along with Councillors Shirley O’Hara, Linda de Courcy, and Eoin Ó Broin, officially opened the upgraded Knockmitten Playspace.

Speaking at the event, Cllr Timmons said:

"We recognise that this playspace upgrade was eagerly anticipated by the local community and has already been well utilised, with many families gathering here daily. The new equipment, including swings, an embankment slide, a playhouse, spinner, see-saw, stepping stones, and balancing beams, offers something for children of all ages and encourages imaginative and social play."

Cllr Timmons also thanked the local community and Knockmitten Community Centre for their patience during construction and acknowledged the Department of Rural and Community Development for supporting the project under the Community Recognition Fund.

The upgraded playspace is already proving to be a vibrant hub for families and a positive boost to the local community.
