Croke Park

Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) Future Local Lab’s first-ever documentary!

As ageing populations become more prevalent around the world, local government must adapt and innovate, so that the world we build today meets our future needs.

The significance of integrating age friendly design in future planning takes centre stage in our new documentary. Hosted by Meath County Council, Age Friendly Ireland stands as an exemplary model for creating inclusive environments that promote well-being and quality of life for all.

The documentary explores Dublin’s Croke Park, the world’s first age friendly stadium, showcasing the successful collaboration between Age Friendly Ireland, Croke Park and the Gaelic Athletic Association and spotlighting the best practice approach to delivering an age friendly transformation. This film not only celebrates Age Friendly Ireland and Croke Park’s achievements, but also serves as a call to action for other public spaces to embrace age friendly infrastructure and design thinking. Offering a blueprint for meeting the needs of ageing populations and fostering inclusivity, we hope the documentary inspires other local authorities to take the plunge into age friendly.
