Speaking on the opening day of the Natural Play Area at Linear Park, Newbridge, Sonya Kavanagh, Chief Executive of Kildare County Council said “Our goal is to give children an opportunity to appreciate and understand the natural world through exploration and creative play. We want families and children to engage with nature while they discover this new Natural Play Area along with the existing Fairy Trail.”

I hope that this new feature will benefit all the children, both local and those who are visiting.
