Westfields Wetlands is a much loved and well used local amenity. It is host to a variety of wildlife, including migrating wildfowl. The area features regularly in the annual Tidy Towns Awards under the wildlife and natural amenities category. It is an invaluable resource for city residents and a wonderful refuge for wildlife.

Limerick City and County Council have completed a management plan for Westfield Wetland which will guide the management and development of this important habitat and amenity area into the future. The plan consists of three documents which need to read together with the Nutura Impact Assessment detailing exactly what can be done on the site and what elements need further study.
