The Village Green in Malahide has undergone significant redevelopment and is now available for public use. The redevelopment of the space sees a new green public area which will re-invigorate and enhance the open space as an area to visit and enjoy for all.These works have been carried out over the year and were completed on time. These works see a major aim of Fingal County Council’s Public Realm Strategy for Malahide 2014 accomplished even with the difficulties that have been brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic.The project was led by the Council’s Parks and Green Infrastructure Division to re-invigorate and improve the quality of the Village Green and to enhance the open space as an area to visit and enjoy for the residents of Malahide and tourists. The approved plan for the Village Green resulted from an extensive public consultation process and was designed by Murray and Associates Landscape Architecture.The scheme forms part of the Public Realm Strategy for Malahide undertaken by Fingal County Council in 2014. The Town Plaza to the Green has been enlarged, providing a new urban plaza at the transition space between the village and the Green. Director of Planning and Strategic Infrastructure Matthew McAleese said: “The completion of this project with its improved layout and facilities will add to this popular amenity in the town for everyone to enjoy. This is a wonderful new piece of public realm infrastructure that sees part of the Public Realm Scheme Strategy for Malahide completed.” Kevin Halpenny, Senior Parks Superintendent for Fingal County Council, said: “ The Green is a significant and historically important open space in the centre of Malahide and the redevelopment has transformed it into a multifunctional civic space. Throughout the process, there was a very strong emphasis on quality of design and quality of finish and this is reflected in the completed park.”
