Chimney Park

Chimney Park built on the site of Dublin Gasworks, is one of the last projects in the redevelopment of Grand Canal Dock.  It incorporates the restored redbrick chimney as its centrepiece, with other features including a mirrow wall and water-play theme.

The Royal Canal Linear Park features floating gardens and pavilions with the Luas Spencer Dock bridge crossing above.  The park provides a visually striking public amenity green space covering six hectares in the North Lotts area of the Docklands. This park has been designed to be used and appreciated by all of Dublin's citizens whether they want to relax, be active or appreciate the greenery.
