Tour of Clay Farm EcoPark & Glencairn Woodland Park

Park Developments and the Irish Green Building Council are delighted to invite you to a guided tour of Clay Farm EcoPark and Woodland Park at Glencairn, showcasing how existing nature can be protected and enhanced in new residential developments.

You’ll visit both sites in the company of the people who brought these projects to life – including ecologists, landscape designers, and project managers – for a first-hand look at their approach to biodiversity and heritage preservation.

EcoPark, Clay Farm
Located within the Clay Farm residential development in Leopardstown, Dublin 18, this 14-acre greenway connects Ballyogan Road to Cruagh Wood along the historic pale boundary. Part of the Dun-Laoghaire Rathdown County Green Infrastructure Corridor, the park features walking and cycling trails weaving through conservation areas.

A biodiversity enhancement plan supports native grasslands and existing habitats, allowing nature to regenerate and thrive. View on Google Maps

Woodland Park, Glencairn
Nestled in the wooded valley of the Carrickmines Stream, this 4.5-acre park restores and preserves a natural woodland north of the historic Murphystown Castle grounds. Visitors can explore walking trails, heritage features, and native planting designed to improve habitat connectivity, including a preserved 250-metre lime tree avenue. View on Google Maps
