Kilrush Skate Park

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project is exploring the development of a recreational space designed especially for teenagers and young adults in the town of Kilrush.

The main feature of this space would be a skate park, additional facilities, e.g. table tennis equipment, are also an option.

This project could be developed in conjunction with Kilrush Activity Park.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION & OBJECTIVES

• community
