The brand new playground in Ballyroan, named Croí an Bhaile, was officially opened on Tuesday, June 23.
The playground was opened on the former national school site in Ballyroan by outgoing Cathaoirleach of Laois County Council, Barry Walsh, who was joined by members of the community to celebrate the official opening.
The completed development provides a new recreational and community amenity for children, young people, families and the wider Ballyroan population. It includes a children’s playground, multi-use games area, car parking, and landscaped areas.
It was named Croí an Bhaile by 4th class students from Scoil Eoin Phóil II Naofa following a naming competition.
