You can use the Eval class:

def stringTxt = "[id:2,name:'myname',age:'20']"
def map = Eval.me( stringTxt )
assert map.name == 'myname'

Of course, if there's another way of doing it other than putting the Map into a String, you should probably do that. Evaluating text has the potential to be a large security risk :-(
