The River Liffey in Kildare
Kildare County Council has published details of emerging proposals for a Liffey Valley Park (Celbridge to Leixlip) and is seeking input from the public on the suggested options.
Following a successful public consultation event in Celbridge Library on Tuesday 8 April, Kildare County Council would like to offer those who were unable to attend the event, the opportunity to review the proposed options and provide insights and feedback. The exhibition has been published on Kildare County Council’s Consultation Portal and you can share your views here:

The deadline for receipt of submissions is 4.00pm on 22 April 2025.
According to Kildare County Council, it is is "working with JBA Consulting Limited to explore the potential for the provision of a Liffey Valley Park extending, over approximately 6.35km between Celbridge Bridge to St. Catherine’s Park, Leixlip.
"At this stage, Kildare County Council is preparing a feasibility study to test ideas and determine a preferred option for the project. While it is still at an early stage in the process, public opinions are welcomed on the emerging ideas.
"The vision is to provide for the recreational needs of the area, help conserve the biodiversity and amenity value of the river corridor and connect to amenities in the locality and adjoining areas of South Dublin and Fingal.
"A public survey completed in December 2024 received approximately 900 responses, showing how important this area is to those living near this stretch of the River Liffey.
"The project is supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS), which provides for the detailed development of projects with the objective of providing for new outdoor recreational infrastructure and/or, the enhancement of existing outdoor recreational infrastructure, to contribute to healthy active lifestyles.
"It also supports the economic and tourism potential of the area for both local communities and visitors alike."
