The facility is being constructed at the Bawnogues, Kilcock.
A construction start date for Kilcock's long-awaited €2 million community centre has been announced.
Kildare County Council says contractors will break ground on Tuesday, June 8th.
The centre will be a two-storey, multi-use community facility, including sports hall, toilet facilities, changing facilities and multipurpose rooms.
The construction programme for this is 10 months.
Kildare County Council says "The completed facility will be a huge bonus to the community of Kilcock."
It adds, however, that "To facilitate construction of the new community centre, it will be necessary to decommission the existing playground on the Bawnogues site. The playground will close on Tuesday 8th June 2021. "
A location has been identified within the Bawnogues site for a "new and bigger playground".
Kildare County Council says it will "co-ordinate the design of the new playground while centre works are ongoing, with a view to progressing to construction when centre works are complete."
