Construction is now complete on the new playground in Allenwood. I love the entrance sign “as Gaeilge”! There is still some work to be done on the car parking areas and access pathways to the playground, but there are no major blockers at the moment. The required paperwork will need to be signed off and…

I am pleased to see that the Parks Section of Kildare County Council hope to advertise the revised Part 8 Planning Application for Allenwood Playground by the end of October 2020. There has been an understandable delay after having to relocate the playground following issues with the original site. A process of consultation took place…
We are delighted to see the playgrounds open again. Over 3 months since we’ve been to one and not a queue in sight! Please bear in mind that hand sanitisation and social distancing needs to continue. Well done Timahoe Community Council (Kildare) on keeping the Community Park in such good condition over the last few months.
