The new playground will be inclusive and accessible to all ensuring stronger and more vibrant community infrastructure.

The sod turning event was attended by school pupils, local Tidy Towns groups, resident families and Wicklow County Council staff.

The works shall consist of the following:

• Site clearance, regrading of slopes and alteration to drainage
• Construction of timber and stone clad retaining walls on steep banks
• Reduce width of existing sports facility access to a single traffic lane
• Install perimeter railing
• Install play equipment comprising predominantly of structural timber components
• Install safety surfacing.
• Provide associated footpaths, kerbing, surfacing, vehicle set down and landscaping

Wicklow Minister Simon Harris paid tribute to the playground committee, chair Aisling Vickers and Secretary Roisin Briggs for their efforts to raise funds to make this playground a reality.
