Further update regarding works in St. Mary’s River Park – 18/07/2026

Irish Water connection works to our Riverside development were completed in June. A meeting was held with LCCC Roads Engineer and our Construction Engineer on the 2nd July to finalise arrangements for the installation of a new footpath in front of St. Mary’s Park and our Riverside development. Works on the new footpath to commence shortly. The ESB completed the electricity connection works this week which will allow final works on the restoration of the lawn area of St. Mary’s Park to be completed. We expect that St. Mary’s Park will be open again to the public shortly. We have also been advised by LCCC that €30,000 has been allocated for upgrade works to the park.

Further update regarding works in St. Mary’s River Park – 04/June 2026

We have been advised by Irish Water that external drainage works, to connect the housing development wasted water to the public sewer network, and watermain connection works will commence on the 9th June. Access to the park will be impeded for a number of weeks while this work is ongoing. We have also been advised by our building contractor that any remaining building material will be removed from the park in the coming weeks and restoration of the lawn area will be completed. The park will be reopened when all works are completed.  We have also been advised by Limerick City and County Council that a new footpath will be completed along the front wall of the park in the coming months.

Further update regarding works in St. Mary’s River Park – 19th April 2026

A new pedestrian entrance gate and second larger gate have now been installed. New stone piers have also been built at the park entrance and the stone footpath has been reinstated. The top soil has been restored at the front entrance and around the boundary walls of the housing development on the park side. The park will be open again to the public shortly.

Cappamore Housing Association has engaged with LCCC Town Regeneration and Rural Development section to seek funding for the further development of the park. A meeting was held at the park on Friday 17th April, which was organised by our association, with invited representatives from Limerick City & County Council, Cappamore Tidy Towns Committee and the Cappamore Development Association also in attendance.

Important update regarding works in St. Mary’s River Park – 9th February 2026

During the construction of the ten new social housing units at Riverside Cappamore it was necessary to install site hoarding on the river park area. This hoarding is currently being removed and all building materials will be removed in the coming week. When weather permits, new top soil and grass seed will be installed on the park side of the boundary wall.

The entrance stone wall to the River Park area had to be removed to allow access to the ESB. This wall will be reinstated shortly. A new pedestrian gate and a second larger gate (wide enough for a JCB) will be installed.  This work cannot be completed until the ESB gains access to this ground and installs a new pole for electricity supply to the new housing development

As part of the ESB connection to the site, an underground cable also had to be installed. This involved the digging of a trench across the entrance area of the park, which is now completed. When weather permits, new top soil and grass seed will be installed on areas where work has taken place. The stone flag pathway will also be reinstated shortly as part of the restoration works.
