Welcome
to our Website
The Liffey Valley Park Alliance ( LVPA ), is a coalition of
organisations at both a national and local level with the objective of
achieving the designation of a park for the Liffey Valley in order to
protect the lands from inappropriate and unsympathetic
development and to promote awareness and recreational use of the
valley. In our website we aim to provide some further details about the
Valley and how you can enjoy it and also about ourselves and our vision
for a Liffey Valley Park. We also invite you to help us with
our
overall objective and to address in particular the terrible
threats currently facing the valley in Lucan and Celbridge.
* NEW * Liffey Valley Park Alliance Launches its series of walks and leaflets
We are delighted to present the first in our series of walks around and within the Liffey Valley. Our first walk takes you from Lucan Village, through Lucan Demesne and on to Leixlip Village but don't worry as we point out the bus routes that take you back to your start point. Alternatively, as the walk only takes about an hour, you can just walk back the way that you came.
LVPA Launches its second walks leaflet
Here is the second in our series of walks in the Liffey Valley. The
location for this walk is Waterstown Park - the newest park in the
Liffey Valley. This has some of the best access to the Liffey itself
and, spectacular views of the Guinness bridge. All of this walk is
tarmac'ed and although there is a slight gradient for some of the walk,
it is one of the easiest and most accessible of our walks. LVPA Launches its third walks leaflet
The
LVPA are proud to present our third walks leaflet. This one covers from
Islandbridge to Chapelozid through the War Memorial Park.Click here get more details on our latest walk and to download the leaflet.

County Councillors to proposed sweeping changes to the zoning of land -
to protect the Liffey Valley. We congratulate and thank Cllrs Jones,
Keating, Lavelle, O'Connell, and Tuffy for their work and support
through the process. "It was fantastic to see all of the Lucan
