Caragh playground plans up for viewing from today

Plans for a new state of the art playground in Caragh have been unveiled today.

The playground will contain a range of equipment suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities including swings, slides, rockers, multiplay and inclusive units, adventure trail, seating and landscaping features.

Local Councillor in Caragh, Rob Power, said: “This is very exciting for the village and has been a long time coming. In fact, we’re conscious that many children will no longer make use of the facilities designed for smaller kids so this design will incorporate a basketball half-court or kickabout area, pump track for bikes for the older kids. Alongside the additional planting proposed, this plan will really bring life to the Parish Field.

 On behalf of the people who look forward to using this facility I’d like to say a huge thank you to the Parish and the Parish field committee for making the land available.

I grew up in Caragh and would have loved to have a facility like this. Now I look forward to bringing my own two kids to enjoy it once complete!”

Plans of the proposed development will be available for inspection from today until Friday, February 8, next,  at Applegreen, Caragh Village and online at http://kildare.ie/CountyCouncil/PublicConsultations-Part8Schemes/Community/Caragh Playground/

Submissions and observations on the plan can be made by email to [email protected] before 4pm on Friday, February 22, next.
