Diarmuid Gavin's design for a children's playground
in Carndonagh has been put out to tender by Donegal
County Council.
Gavin's company, DG Designs, received €60,000 for
designing a unique town park including children's
playground, at Barrick Hill, Carndonagh
The local authority recently put the construction of
the playground phase of the development out to
tender. The publication date was May 7, 2009 while
the deadline for providers to submit their
quotations for the work is July 3, 2009. |

The job included in the
contract consists of the supply, delivery and
erection of playground equipment and surfacing
material. It also includes fencing and access gates
as well as the associated groundworks.
Donegal County Council's community and enterprise
area manager, Aideen Doherty, said the local
authority would qualify the tenders after July 3 and
would work in co-operation with the playground
committee in agreeing the final award of the
contract.
Ms Doherty also confirmed that the Woodland Area of
Diarmuid Gavin's |
design was currently in
the "bedding in" stage and would be officially
opened in the coming months when the plants and
shrubs passed their fragile stage.
Gavin, an award-winning landscape architect,
considered the thoughts of more than 100
participants from the Carndonagh area including
school children before making the final drafts of
his design. Those involved said the park would be
"one of Ireland’s most imaginative and ambitious
community spaces and play parks". Meanwhile, Donegal
County Council has also put out to tender the
construction of the proposed children's playground
at Clós Phadraig, Carndonagh. The job of work
includes design, supply, delivery and building of
the playground. Anyone wishing to tender for a
