Senator Jennifer Murnane O Connor says it will be in for the all-important summer season.
She says it will give people a sense of security and reassurance.
A petition for additional security at the park was started last year after a young man was mugged and subsequent incidents of anti social behaviour sparked calls for cameras to be set-up.
The cameras being installed will be monitored at the local Garda station.
