Panda celebration in Waterford as playground paid for

There were great scenes of celebration in one area of County Waterford recently when the local community came together to mark the full payment of a state-of-the-art playground.

The Panda Playground facility in the Ballymacarbry area of the county cost €170,000 to develop.

However, thanks to the overwhelming support of the general public the facility was recently paid for in full much to the delight of everyone involved.

Those behind the amenity expressed sincere gratitude to everyone who helped make the playground become a reality.

From the very beginning it was very much a community effort and the cost of developing the project included groundworks, playground equipment, and perimeter fencing.

"From the very beginning, our aim was to provide the highest quality playground possible," said one of those involved with the project.

"By choosing Kompan equipment, we invested in durability and safety, ensuring that this playground will serve our community for many years to come."

However, the achievement would not have been possible without the generous support of the community and that's something everyone involved is very grateful for.

To acknowledge the fact the playground was paid for the community got together for a fun day of activities at the amenity for what a celebration of a major milestone for the area.
