A place for everything...

Adamstown is designed with your health and wellbeing in mind with safe walking and cycling routes planned throughout Adamstown. At least 14% of the total area will comprise of public open space with the majority of the open space located in four parks.

In 2007 Maplewood jointly commissioned a landscape design competition for the 2 major parks in the development; Tandy’s Lane Park and Airlie Park.

This international competition was run by the Irish Landscape Institute and it attracted a high number of international entries including companies from Europe and the USA.

The winning scheme, was designed by Foley and Salles, a talented Irish and French landscape architect duo.

The new parks will include features such as football pitches, tennis courts, all weather playing pitches, permanent changing and shower facilities, education zones and children’s playgrounds.

The next generation in education and childcare for residents of Adamstown will be provided with four schools; three primary and one postprimary, and some 1,400 crèche places with playgrounds provided throughout the development.

At least two local centres are planned close to The Paddocks, one in Tandy’s Lane Village and the other adjacent to Airlie Park. These centres will incorporate a convenience store and a range of small retail outlets suitable for a newsagent, a pharmacy, a video store, a doctor’s surgery and/or restaurant, café and bars.
