Kilbogget Park Integrated Constructed Wetland
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council sought about improving the quality of the Deansgrange Stream, which was being impacted upon by misconnections in upstream pipe networks and direct pollution.
In 2008 a 600m stretch of the stream in Kilbogget Park was developed applying the Integrated Constructed Wetland approach. The development included the creation of a series of wetlands and ponds within the stream to improve water quality and to enhance the habitat and amenity value of the site.
A recent survey of the local residents associations showed that the level of pride and ownership of the park has increased dramatically since the ICW was installed. An increase in wildlife has attracted a number of visitors while safe access to shallow water provides amenity for both adults and children.
