About the village
In the centre of Coolmine is the Coolmine woods. Its main path is often used as a shortcut for people heading towards the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre or by schoolchildren. Its flat and open grass make it popular for joggers and dog-walkers while during the summer, local football teams train on the grass.
The Millennium Park is located between Coolmine and the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre. Its amenities include two all-weather astro pitches, a children's playground, dog pen, skatepark, and exercise stations.
