Some parks could remain closed until Christmas due to storm damage

Sunday 19 November 2023


Howard Davis Park and Coronation Park will remain closed until at least December after half the trees in each park were either lost or damaged in the storm.

The Government explained that each tree must be assessed individually for damage and potentially taken down, if dangerous.

It is hoped that Howard Davis Park can open in early December, and Coronation Park before Christmas.

Meanwhile, Winston Churchill Park is partially open, although there are still areas with damaged and dangerous hanging branches that need to be made safe.

Millennium Park is open after the few trees lost in the storm were cleared.

The Railway Walk remains closed with an estimated that 400 trees were damaged or brought down during Storm Ciarán.
