As of March 2020, there are solid plans from DLR County Council in their Blackrock park 2020 masterplan to build a skatepark and bouldering walls in the park at the temporary carpark between the Martello tower and the car garage.

“Dún Laoghaire Rathdown has some of the highest participation rates for supervised sports in the country. Throughout the municipality there is generous provision for the most popular sports such as soccer and gaelic games. While Blackrock Park does not have the potential to cater for field sports; the park lends itself to niche sports such as bouldering, skateboard and BMX which will be examined through the Masterplan of the park”

This is a collection of international skateparks, plazas and street spots which we skaters and BMXers can use as inspiration to design and build a proper skatepark, measuring up to an international standard and appealling to a wide variety of users of all ages.

Investing in good designs will mean the facilities are often used by locals and visitors alike, rather than being a white elephant and a dangerous waste of space and money.

We need to see a park designed to international best practice, taking user groups experience into account to create a bespoke, high end facility for the town.

We`re currently getting ideas and draft plans together to direct and guide the sort of skatepark suitable for all abilities for this part of Blackrock Park.
