Diarmuid Gavin will next week unveil his design for
the children's playground section of the Barrack
Hill Town Park in Carndonagh.
The people of the town are invited to attend a third
session with Gavin - fresh from the Chelsea Flower
Show - on Tuesday, May 27. At the session he will
reveal his plans for the children's play area of the
park.
A Donegal County Council spokesperson explained:
"The process has been informed predominately by the
local playground committee who have worked
tirelessly in their efforts to secure a playground
for the children of the town. |
"The playground will
aim to integrate the whole community and will also
provide opportunities for grandparents, mammies and
daddies to play together with their children."
The spokesperson said there was "much excitement"
among some of Carndonagh’s younger residents about
what shape the new playground will take.
Donegal County Council commissioned the popular
award-winning gardener to design one of the "most
imaginative and ambitious community spaces and play
parks" for the north Inishowen town. |

The playground with
incorporate soft ground and play equipment but for
those children over six, who prefer more creative
places to play, the park will also include a
uniquely-designed landscape area to spark their
imagination and meet their needs.
It is hoped this further public meeting, with the
designer in attendance, will reap as much feedback
from the public as possible. It will take place on
Tuesday, May 27 at 8pm in the Aras, Carndonagh
Community School. Everyone is welcome to attend. |
