Upgraded Trail Opens At Russborough House And Park

The works carried out in 2024 included site groundworks, path upgrades, the installation of a gravel surface, grassing, and planting.

The existing railings were upgraded and painted, and new fencing was installed in necessary sections of the path.

Additionally, a cycle hub area was created, complete with bike racks and signage for bike parking.

Funding for this project was provided by the Department of Rural and Community Development under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme, with matched funding from Wicklow County Council.

The upgraded trail now features a wide and level surface, which is enjoyed by the local Parkrun community every Saturday morning.

It is hoped that this facility, with ongoing support from Russborough House, will serve as a source of recreation for all visitors.
