Have you seen all the family hearts on the trees at the Hill? Huge thank you to all volunteers who adopted a tree at Balally Hill and will water their tree regularly to help it thrive. Each adopter received a handmade wooden heart with their family name to identify their tree… see them here and some of the background work creating and hanging them in our video reel!
Our local postman advised we should all be aware of fraudsters sending fake emails and texts to customers pretending to be from An Post. An Post are asking customers to remain vigilant and be ‘scam aware’. You can find information and tips to help you stay safe online at https://www.anpost.com/Security

If you’re looking to get outdoors, remember that there are plenty of great parks and locations close by (within 5km) to make lockdown a little bit easier.
Ballawley, Fitzsimon’s Wood, Deer Park, Marlay, Cabinteely are easy to get to (https://www.dlrcoco.ie/en/parks-and-outdoors/parks).
We’re also within reach of the Dublin mountains at Ticknock and Kilmashogue.
Or if you fancy getting to the sea, then Sandymount Strand and Booterstown/Blackrock parks are also nearby.
Stay safe and Happy New Year!

While your residents association has had to postpone some of our events due to Covid-19, we continue to work on your behalf to make our estate a great place to live. With your contribution, we will be able to continue all estate management activities to ensure our neighbourhood is maintained to the highest standard. We will manage all communal grass cutting, weeding, edging and planting and run the annual clean-up Week, litter pick and anti-graffiti activity. We are representing our members in conversations with the council on issues and decisions that may affect you, including parking/traffic issues on Balally Park and Sandyford Road, cycle lane introduction, and proposals for Active School Travel routes through the estate. We will also continue our programme of printed and online communications to ensure you are kept up to date on all activities and we look forward to running some exciting social events when allowed to do so!
As a thank you, all residents who pay their sub before 18/12/2020 will be entered into a draw to win some fabulous Christmas gifts which we will purchase from local retailers to help support our local economy:
