Newlands Cross (Dublin, Ireland)

About the cemetery

The new Cemetery forms part of an integrated open space development comprising of 140 acres of parkland, playing pitches, an ornamental lake, and wildflower meadows. The central theme of the landscape composition is the integration of the functions of the cemetery into the activities of the park and the wider community.

Access to the new parkland area is from the existing roundabout along the southern boundary off Belgard Road. This access also serves as an entrance driveway into the cemetery for arrival/set down and car parking. This car park can be used for both park visitors and cemetery users. The car park is off-set along a curving access drive, set in parkland, flanked by weeping silver lime.
