URBAN TREE PITS
AT ONE OF DUBLIN’ S LATEST DESTINATION VENUES WITH THEIR TREEPARKER ® SYSTEM
In the 1950s, the area around Wilton Park was the most bohemian community in the city. It sits around the newly renovated, delightful one-acre park, sitting alongside the Grand Canal. The work included planting 30,000 new shrubs and 48 new trees, restoring the Victorian fountain, and adding new seating. It is open seven days a week from 6.30am to 9pm.
The development of the inspiring office, social, and residential building involved years of preparation and consultation with city planners and the local communities. Every facet of the design, materials and amenity space has been driven by the desire to create a space that people will use and love. Wilton Park is the only workplace in the city with its own park, and as if to rubber-stamp its credentials, three major companies LinkedIn, Stripe and EY have chosen the location for their new headquarters.
One outstanding feature is a new public square with a mature cherry tree and interactive water feature. Mary Lavin Place is the first public place in Ireland to be named after a female writer, celebrating the area’ s literary connections.
Green-tech involvement Maylim are specialists in hard and soft landscaping, paving projects, and civil engineering work, and Wilton Park was their inaugural venture into Dublin. They have worked with Green-tech for nearly ten years across various projects, so when the TreeParker ® tree pit support system was suggested, they were keen to see it, especially as it had recently been used to good effect
