Kildare's newest playground is about to open.

Kildare County Council will officially open the play area, on the Fairgreen, Castledermot, tomorrow.

The playground includes 20 different types of play equipment, most of which was chosen by the local community after what KCC describes as "an extensive consultation process."

Equipment includes  a tube slide and multi activity unit, double zip wire, trampoline, swings, an hexagonal swing, adventure trail, sensory play panels and mud play area

The playground was built by Gardenescapes, cost €180,000 and was funded from development levies, local property tax and a grant from the Department of Children and Youth Affairs.
 
Additional works included creating a new paved entrance, circulation paths and landscaping around the Fairgreen.  

All this work was carried out by locally based Walsh Civil Engineering at a cost of €200k and was funded from the Community Enhancement Programme and Leader funding.
