Bridgefoot Street Park, which opened to the public in May 2022, was designed by Dermot Foley Landscape Architects in collaboration with Dublin City Council’s Parks, Biodiversity and Landscape Services. Work on the project, delivered as part of the Liberties Greening Strategy, commenced in 2020 but was delayed by Covid-19 restrictions.
Together with nearby Weaver Park, access to public green space in the Liberties area of Dublin inner city has increased by more than 150% since 2015.
Unfortunately a fire blaze broke out at Weaver Park, off Cork Street, shortly before 6.30pm about a week ago . No injuries were reported but the playground sustained significant damage.
