Kingswood teenspace opens

THE NEW Teenspace beside St Kilian’s National School in Kingswood was officially opened last week.

Speaking at the event Mayor Alan Edge said: “This new facility is a welcome part of the SDCC innovative Teenspace programme which is being delivered across the county.

“The Council engaged with teenagers who told us what their needs are and how those needs can be best met in South Dublin.

We know that our physical and emotional wellbeing is improved by spending time in the outdoors and with the Teenspace programme we are providing areas for teenagers to relax and simply hang out and make friends.

“At every location we talk to teenagers from that area and ask what type of space they would like and what activities they like to see included.

This has resulted in the teenspace you see before you today, located in a safe, high-profile location with plenty of seating and with access to large informal activity areas nearby”.
