PLAYGROUNDS

The Playground at the Town Park was installed in 1990.  A fundraising Committee had been established to raise the finance to provide the playground equipment and the Urban District Council (now known as the Town Council) provided the site.  The Official Opening of the Playground by Uachtaran Na h-Eireann, Mary Robinson, took place in 21st April, 1991.  In recent years additional equipment has been installed and the facility has been upgraded under the Playground Grants Scheme.

The Playground at Sandfield was provided in 2004.  The project was jointly funded by Mallow Town Council and Blackwater Resource Development.

The Playground at Woodview Drive was opened in 2007.  It was provided for the residents of the Estate primarily and was funded under the Playgrounds Grants Scheme.
