The local authority listed the following council-owned spaces as being suitable for playgrounds and teen spaces:

• The Slip, Main Street, Celbridge

• Willowbrook Park, Celbridge

• Hazelhatch Road, Celbridge

• Donaghcumper, Celbridge

The council noted that all of these sites would require masterplans to be developed if they were to be considered for playgrounds or teen facilities.

The council further noted that a number of existing open space within housing estates which are taken in charge could also be considered for teen facilities.
