Mayor of the County of Cork Cllr Christopher O'Sullivan said: "Public amenities are hugely important in our towns and villages. Community halls, parks and playgrounds are key areas in every community and serve a vital function. This playground will be a huge benefit for families in Charleville and the surrounding villages for years to come."
The new facility, which has been in use since July, has undergone significant improvement works as part of the Town and Village Renewal Scheme with €100,000 allocated to it through Cork County Council in 2018.
The Town and Village Renewal Scheme is a key part of the Government's Action Plan for Rural Development. It focuses on projects which can help to enhance rural towns and villages, with a particular emphasis on stimulating economic development.
