Name that park. Baldoyle high amenity park needs a name

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

[update] the Park in Baldoyle has been named – Baldoyle Racecourse Park 15:50 05/11/09

The high amenity park due to open in Baldoyle in January 2010 needs a name. Can you suggest one. The land was once owned by Frank Dunlop (who claimed he bribed six county councillors to rezone it for him) what was once the world famous Baldoyle Racecourse. The land was rezoned in the 90’s as local councillors gave way to allow development on this green belt that now has stages of the Coast development built upon it.

It has had a working title of ‘Millennium Park’ for about 13 years but due to its extreme late delivery it is deemed inappropriate to call it Millennium Park TEN YEARS into the new millennium. Baldoyle badly needs amenity lands for its expanding young and old population (Baldoyle is the only area of the old Howth Ward with and expanding population). Comments & suggestions welcome. With a few suggestions I may run a poll.

St. Mary’s land sponsorship deal with DAA

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

DAA kitSt. Mary’s Secondary School, Baldoyle has landed a sponsorship deal with the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) for all their successful Basketball Teams.

The sponsorship was organised by PE Teacher, Robert Fennell with Maura Cassidy, Manager Community Affairs from the DAA.

Basketball is a very popular sport in St. Mary’s and one in which they have enjoyed great success over the years.  Winning the SSA Under 16 Division 2 Championships in 2009 and were runners up in the SSA Under 16 Division One Championship, both finals being held in the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght.  St. Mary’s has won the Under 16 Division titles on 6 previous occasions from 2002 to 2007.  The Under 19 Senior 1 team have been SSA Basketball Finalists in 2004, 2007 and 2008.  A great achievement for a small school like St. Mary’s.

Maura Cassidy recently made the presentation of the newly sponsored sports kit to Ms. Siobhan O’ Connell, Principal.  Hopefully, this will be the start of a very fruitful partnership.  Ms O’ Connell thanked the DAA for their generous sponsorship while Ms. Cassidy wished St. Mary’s the best of luck in their future matches.
