Residents in the County Kildare town of Sallins are set to benefit from a host of new community facilities.

A celebratory mass has been scheduled to mark the official opening of Sallins Community Playground, Kildare Down Syndrome Ireland's horticultural facility and the St Laurence's National School's all-weather pitches later this month.

Mayor of the Naas Municipal District Councillor Carmel Kelly will be joined by Bishop Denis Nulty, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin and children of the parish to open the facilities on Friday 22 November.

The playground, entrance avenue, railings, tarmacking and associated works were undertaken by Play and Leisure Services. The cost of collective works totalled €305,000 and was part funded by Local Property Tax which was allocated by the Councillors in the Naas Municipal District.

Sallins Community Playground is one of four new playgrounds funded by Local Property Tax allocated by the Councillors. The other playgrounds are in Kill which opened in 2016 and Eadestown and Caragh which were also delivered this year.
