Athenry Community Playground

********PLAYGROUND CLOSURE********
Athenry Playground will close temporarily on Monday, 6th of July for at least four weeks to allow for the renovation to take place!

The playground will not be accessible during this time but access through the park will be maintained. 🚧

We are very excited to see KOMPAN on site on Monday and for the delivery of all the new equipment!

Thank you for your patience and we look forward to opening a beautiful new playground very soon! So get your last few swings and zip lining in this weekend!

Our Big Day Out will take place on Saturday, 8th of August - more information coming very soon.

This is a very exciting time for the children in Athenry and we appreciate all your support in achieving this dream! 🌈

📣 UPDATE 📣 We are very happy to announce that we have an official start date for the renovation of Athenry Community Playground! Hallelujah 🙌🏻

🥳 MONDAY, 6th of JULY 🥳

We had hoped it would start in June however, due to several weeks of bad weather, Kompan’s other projects were delayed.

We know this has been a long time coming and the work behind the scenes to make this happen has been intense but we have a new playground in sight!

The playground will close for at least 4 weeks, all weather dependent as new wetpour cannot be put in if it’s raining.

Let’s hope the sun shines for the month of July! 🤞🏻 🌞

Our Big Day Out will go ahead as scheduled on Saturday, 8th of August. More information on that will be coming soon but suffice to say it will be another great day in Athenry!! 🖼️ 🧘‍♀️ 🪘 🎨

We want to thank everyone for their support to date and their patience as this renovation goes ahead with over €170,000 worth of works and equipment going in to the playground. It will be so worth it!

We will keep you all posted! We are as keen as you all to have a safe place for our children to play in Athenry. 🛝

🚨Maker’s Marts are now FULL! Thanks to those who have signed up and we look forward to having you on the 8th!
