The new Kilkenny Countryside Park at Dunmore officially opened on Friday, December 15.
The 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 along with Kilkenny's first dedicated dog-friendly enclosure.
Cllr Eugene McGuinness is one of many local representatives who have visited the park since its opening, praising the location and sharing aerial shots via his social-media.
