Park West, Dublin


Park West is a large business park within west Dublin, Ireland, notable for its public art and with some residential development. Over 300 companies, with over 10,000 employees, are based there.

Location and content

Located just inside the M50 orbital motorway in west Dublin, the development comprises several million square metres of office and retail space, along with a hotel, a private hospital, and three apartment complexes.
Park West is in the administration of Dublin City Council, and Dublin postal districts Dublin 10 and Dublin 12, chiefly the latter.

Art

Park West is home to Europe's tallest wind and water mobile sculpture, Wave by Angela Conner. It is a 39.3 metre tall sculpture made of polystyrene covered with layers of carbon resin. It is fixed into a 7.6 metre pit filed with 9.5 tonnes of lead.

Transport

The campus is accessible by road, bus and rail at the Park West and Cherry Orchard railway station. At a moderate distance to the south is the Kylemore stop on the Luas red line.

Environment

The Grand Canal passes through the business park, with filter beds for the drawing off of water.
