The County Dublin village of Lucan has become the new home to a state-of-the-art athletics track.

An athletics track rejuvenation project was delivered on the facility in Lucan as part of the Sports Capital Grant Programme funded by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport and supported by Lucan Harriers Athletics Club.

Mayor of South Dublin County Council, Councillor Vicki Casserly visited the site last month to officially open the refurbished Lucan Athletic Track.
