The Liffey Boardwalk in central Dublin

The Liffey Boardwalk is a boardwalk along the River Liffey in central Dublin, Ireland, providing additional pedestrian access along Dublin's quays.

It was announced in November 1998 as a "Millenium Project", and was opened on 17 December 2000.[1] An extension was opened in 2005.[2]

Further extensions of the boardwalk to Heuston Station were proposed in 2007[3] and 2017.[4] In 2019, boardwalk extensions were approved as part of the Liffey cycle route project.[5] Construction started in April 2020 and is expected to be complete in 2024.[6]

The boardwalk is a tourist destination, but has been criticised as a location for anti-social behaviour.[1]
