Dunmore River Walk, Dunmore

Have your say!

Welcome to the public consultation process for the enhancement of Dunmore River Walk in Dunmore Town. The attached information panels explain the draft plan and proposed enhancement. We invite you the public to have your say to help make the best possible Dunmore River walk plan for Dunmore town.

Project outline

A public space already exists on the Dunmore River Walk in Dunmore; however it is currently predominantly a grassed area. It is located within Dunmore town centre adjacent to the sinking river, local supermarket and the community rugby/ soccer pitches. It is used frequently by a broad demographic within Dunmore for recreation and commuting.

A design for the enhancement of the park has been completed by a landscape architect. The proposed park enhancement will involve-

  • Upgraded Seating areas for community engagement.
  • Dynamic play areas.
  • Biodiversity planting with native species and wildflower spaces.
  • Two Feature Flower beds with shrubs and ornamental trees.
  • Improved pathways/hardstanding areas constructed.
  • Improved Fencing to the River
  • Terraced seating with integrated planting.
  • Improved cycle facilities.

Extent of Benefits of Park Enhancement

  • It aims to achieve a greener, healthier, safer, beautiful, sustainable, equitable, harmonious, and wilder environment where people value, benefit from, and are strongly connected to the rest of nature.
  • A place where people can walk in a safe, clean and green landscape, to have free and easy access to high quality green space.
  • To improve the richness, connectivity and biodiversity of Dunmore habitats.
  • The walk will offer a fantastic mix of biodiversity measures, outdoor seating areas & disabled accessibility.
  • Promotes physical activity through creating spaces for play, recreation, walking and cycling within a safe environment.

We now cordially invite you to give us your initial feedback and ideas to make the best possible enhancement plan for Dunmore River Walk
