Bankmore Square re-opened to the public on June 28th, 2023, following extensive regeneration work led by Linen Quarter BID and co-funded by Department for Communities, with support from Department for Infrastructure.
This temporary intervention aims to boast the social space within the City Centre by relaying existing grass lawns and repairing existing paths within Bankmore Square (including land drainage improvements) while adding new green features such as a wildflower meadow and installation of climbing plants around the toilet block located at the Dublin Road entrance.
