Sandymount’s public and religious building stock are largely concentrated around the key nodal intersections within its network and along its principle thoroughfares. The sports amenities, playing grounds and schools within Sandymount have inhabited the void space within the interior of these parcels. This includes the rugby, tennis, cricket grounds with a long history in the area as well as the stadium at Lansdowne Road. The character of sporting uses, including Gaelic games in conjunction with Sandymount’s coastal Promenade build its character as a place of recreation and leisure.
