The funds are being used to support the installation of barrier-free outdoor sport infrastructure for public use in local community settings.

Kildare Local Sports Partnership will receive €67,500 under a fund designed to support the installation of barrier-free outdoor sport infrastructure for public use in local community settings.

Under the fund, a total of €2.26 million has been allocated to 30 local sports partnerships across the country to support the purchase and installation of permanent sport infrastructure that can be placed on public land for community use.

The funding will be used for an accessible basketball/sports court in Kerdiffstown Park, accessible outdoor gym equipment in Kerdiffstown Park and an upgrade of the Jetty at Athy Sports Hub to create an accessible Jetty for older adults and people with a disability.
