The Irish coastal village attracts affluent settlers and day-trippers alike
Village Green, a popular and historically important space in the centre of Malahide in Ireland, was recently opened again for public use following a major overhaul. With a new layout and amenities, the multifunctional green public area is expected to become a favourite haunt of locals and tourists visiting this picturesque seaside village.
The scheme forms an integral part of the Public Realm Strategy for Malahide spearheaded by Fingal County Council in 2014. The Village Green redevelopment saw a series of improvements, including the installation of new quality paving, street furniture, re-contouring the open space, as well as planting grass and trees.
The Town Plaza, a part of the new Village Green, has been enlarged and will be used for cultural and commercial activities. The redevelopment plan for the Village Green, designed by Murray and Associates Landscape Architecture, was subjected to an extensive public consultation process before approval.
Speaking on the completion of the project, the Mayor of Fingal David Healy said, quoted by the Council website: “To see the Green fully completed and open is a wonderful example of the continued hard work of everyone involved during such difficult times. The corona restrictions have delayed this project but the commitment to provide an improved amenity for Malahide did not change and this green space will provide a needed break into nature in the middle of the town for the residents.”
According to AnnMarie Farrelly, Chief Executive of Fingal County Council, the renovated area will strengthen the link between The Green and Malahide village while creating a strong focal point and identity within the village. It will also enhance the coastal views that can be enjoyed from the open space.
Thanks to its marina, beach, peaceful and leafy neighbourhoods, and its half an hour proximity to Dublin city, Malahide village has long attracted affluent settlers – more than any other place in Ireland (judging from CSO data). Tourists, on their part, are lured by the many boutiques and cafes, a tour of Malahide Castle and Gardens, a walk along the coast from Malahide to Portmarnock, or a round of golf on the golf courses at both locations.
