The Royal Canal Linear Park, which has been designed by Paris-based architectural practice, Agence Ter, will feature floating gardens, playgrounds, pavilions, new bridges and sporting facilities. The park will provide a visually striking public amenity green space covering six hectares in the North Lotts area of the Docklands. Agence Ter's design blurs the separation between bank and canal, and considers the body of the park as a whole, treating it as a single space stretching from North Strand Road to the River Liffey. It incorporates a series of gardens for a variety of native and exotic plants and trees suited to either wet or dry conditions interspersed with areas for activities - a skate park, a children's playground, a kayak centre, and multi-sport platforms, and for contemplation/relaxation such as seating areas, water basins and café pavilions. The Park will also be well lit to ensure that it can be enjoyed during evening and night times. More
