€99,000 has been allocated from the Community Recognition Fund from the Department of Rural & Community Development for the refurbishment of the play equipment and the playground surface at the Patrick Doyle Road playground.
I will be working with the DLR parks department to see this investment delivered for the local community in Windy Arbour and surrounds at the earliest possible juncture. I know there are loads of families in the area who will be delighted to see the playground get a refresh and a new lease of life.
The Community Recognition Fund was first introduced in 2023 to recognise the huge efforts made by communities in welcoming and supporting people coming to Ireland. The funding today is an acknowledgement for areas such as Windy Arbour that are hosting and supporting those new residents of our area.
