The Joint Policing Sub-Committee, Ringsend Park Working Group was set up with a view to reducing incidents of anti social behaviour in Ringsend Park and surrounding area. Its membership includes local public representatives, Gardai from Irishtown Garda Station, Community Representatives and Dublin City Council officials from Parks Section and South East Area and it has been meeting regularly since 2007.

To date much progress has been made in promoting park usage and reducing anti-social behaviour in the park. Some of this progress includes:
- The refurbishment of the children’s playground
- The installation of tennis courts and multiplay areas
- The installation of an all-weather playing pitch

Other actions include:
- Drug Awareness Weeks, which make young people aware of the negativity of anti-social behaviour and the dangers of using drugs and excess alcohol.
- The closure of a public right of way at Ropewalk Place
- Increased patrols by the Gardai in the park and surrounding area.
- A Ringsend Park Open Day in 2008 which involved sports activities, games, face painting, entertainers and music very much geared at the local community, particularly parents and children, to promote usage of the park.

The group is currently investigating the possibility of organising a four-day Halloween Festival from 28th to 31st October 2009. It is planned to hold events in the park e.g. fancy dress football and Gaelic matches, music, dancing, karate and much more. It is hoped to have a Halloween Parade on Saturday, 31st October. It will finish in the G.A.A. club.

Ringsend Park and other areas may suffer as a result of Halloween if bonfires occur. The aftermath of Halloween often involves much debris, litter and dirt following bonfires. This Forum appeals to all households and businesses in the area not to encourage bonfires by providing any material for the bonfire or by leaving anything outside your premises, which could be used as bonfire material.

It is essential that the community take ownership of this excellent facility, thus discouraging the type of anti-social behaviour, which has plagued this park for a number of years.
