Waterford City & County Council is proposing to extend and redevelop the existing playground at the Promenade, Tramore.
The current playground comprises of a number of solid timber play components and was constructed approximately ten years ago.
Much of the equipment has deteriorated in recent years due to the exposed nature of the site and is now beyond its service life.
It is proposed to remove the damaged equipment and replace with high quality timber structures for children of ages 5 to 12.
It is also proposed to provide an additional play space for children of ages 2 –5.
A Council description of the development states: “These new and upgraded features will provide a high class play facility for the growing population in Tramore.
"The overall aim of this playground will be to provide a play space/playground for diverse users or individuals with differing abilities and characteristics or accessibility needs.
“The intention of this project is to retain the original core aim of providing an Inclusive play space. The function of this playground should focus upon inclusive play with natural play where it provides a space and a setting for play (rather than an over emphasis on equipment for children to play with).”
The public are being asked for their views on the proposed development at consult.waterfordcouncil.ie
