A new community-led playground project has been officially opened at Coole, in Co Westmeath.

The facility was constructed under Westmeath County Council's Playground Provision Scheme.

Coole is the now fourth community-led playground provided in the county, following on from Multyfarnham, Rathowen and Streete.
