Green light for €70m park in Knocknacarra

Thu, Sep 10, 2026

Twelve acres of greenspace at Millers Lane, and on the neighbouring Kingston Lands, may now be transformed into state-of-the-art sporting and recreational amenities for Knocknacarra, where a lack of facilities has been a perennial problem for its 24,000 residents.

The proposed development will include pitches, buildings, viewing terraces and car parking in a multi-phase development estimated by sources close to the project to cost €70 million in total.

For Millers Lane, permission has been granted for a solar-powered, two-story building with a sports hall and shower facilities. Also included are children’s play areas, multi-use games area, climbing wall, calisthenics area, viewing terraces, coach bays and 27 car-parking spaces.
