Playground upgrades and fitness trails planned for South Cork

Crosshaven, Carrigaline and Passage West are among the areas to benefit as councillors heard that equipment prices are set to rise by up to 25% this week because most of it comes from Eastern Europe

A number of new projects worth hundreds of thousands of euro are in the pipeline for communities in South Cork, including playground upgrades, public realm improvements and the creation of a fitness trail.

Crosshaven will get a boost with a significant facelift of its MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) near Fort Camden, which will go out to tender in the next few weeks. The car park area adjacent to it is also to get an upgrade.
