Thanks to Mag Coogan and the children from the ABC Club Playschool who have grown sunflowers for us all to enjoy in the park.
Looking forward to watching them grow.

Following on from works last September to improve the playground, work has been completed to resurface the area under the high rider in the playground.
With huge thanks to Meath County Council for working with us on this. We hope you enjoy!

A number of children had to leave the park and playground yesterday (bank holiday) due to falling in dog poo and/or getting it on their shoes.
We would like to remind you that dogs are not permitted in the junior area of the playground - the area within the gates.
Paws, Pick up, Please ANYWHERE you bring your dog in our community.

Good news. Garden Escapes advise they have scheduled in works for the playground week commencing 25th August. There is a possibility of earlier but that date currently stands. This is the upgrades to the grass areas which will also include some extra matting. Some areas may be sectioned off until matting and turf knits. We trust this will be respected by the community. We hope you are all enjoying a great summer of play in our amazing playground.
Remember, play is intricate and delicate like a web but with children weaving. Challenging, beautiful, unstructured, and natural learning and development.

We are aware of all the repairs etc that need to be made in the playground. We have met with the council and the original design/installation company and repair work is scheduled to take place this year. This work is subject to the availability of the contractors. We are consistently working in the background! Some of these repairs will require closure of play areas for short periods of time. In the meantime, please private message us of any new issues which you may notice. We love how the PlaySpace is being used. We see the benefits to our community and hope that you do too. Happy St. Patrick's weekend 🍀🍀🍀🍀
