A new playground has been delivered at Glebe Park Balrothery in County Dublin.

The Knight's Playground and Multi Use Games Area was officially opened by Mayor of Fingal Councillor Anthony Lavin on Friday 29 March.

Creative Play Solutions built the playground, which has been designed for families and reflects the rich local heritage of the area.

The multi-use games arena has been designed as a modern fit for purpose facility to cater for five-a-side football, basketball and general training activity.
