Renovated playground opened in Griffeen Valley

THE RENOVATED playground at Griffeen Valley Park Lucan was offically opened last week.

Mayor Mark Ward was on hand to officially open the renovated playground which will be a huge boost to the local community.

Children from the Lucan Community Centre Creche help Mayor Mark Ward to cut the ribbon at the renovated playground at Griffeen Valley Park in Lucan.

Mayor Cllr Mark Ward said: “The ideas for change came from a survey of the existing playground users and utilises natural play principles, which have been tried and tested during the delivery of the Council’s playspace programme across the county.

 “Natural play has benefits for children in terms of increasing mental and physical well-being, developing imagination and allowing children to assess risk and develop their coping abilities.”
