KCC says the works being carried out in the park will increase its accessibility and use.
The closure of the Peoples Park in Athy is to facilitate upgrade works
Improvement works will be carried out in The Peoples Park in Athy from Tuesday 7th June to Friday 1st July 2022.
The improvement works are:
1. Widening and resurfacing of some 450m of existing paths to make all paths 2m wide.
2. Installation of 250m of new path to facilitate a circular loop of the park.
3. Removal of existing seating and replacement with new seating and paving around the seating to improve access.
4. Upgrade of the four existing picnic benches to make them wheelchair accessible.
Kildare Council advises that to facilitate the safe delivery of the works it will be necessary to close the park and playground for the duration of the works.
The works are being carried out as part of Sláintecare Healthy Communities Programme, Enhancement Funding Scheme.
The work is aimed at supporting projects which will positively impact on the health and well-being of people living within Athy.
The council says the works being carried out in the park will increase the accessibility of the park and its use.
