The new dog park at Kilkenny Countryside Park
Chairman of Kilkenny's Animal Welfare Committee, Cllr Andrew McGuinness, has welcomed the provision of a dog play enclosure at the new Kilkenny Countryside Park.
"I'm delighted to welcome this as it is needed and hopefully this is just the first one and more will come," he said.
"For now, I'd encourage people to bring their four-legged friends to visit this new amenity and enjoy the new Countryside Park at Dunmore."
A big crowd turned out to mark the official opening of the new Kilkenny Countryside Park at Dunmore last Friday, December 15.
This project sees the development of a new countryside park on the site of the closed municipal landfill at Dunmore which occupies an area of approximately 24 acres and is located just 5km north of Kilkenny city centre.
The new park offers visitors three themed trails - the Mass Path Trail (starts at Dunmore) as well as an Accessibility Trail and Biodiversity Trail.
The new park also provides a myriad of other attractions including two ball walls, a bespoke viewing area, play and exercise equipment and novel relaxing spaces that include hammocks and loungers.
