It's All Fun & Games

The Carrigaline Playground Committee, in conjunction with Carrigaline & District Lions Club, are hosting the Carrigaline Family Festival on Sunday, September 15th from 1pm- 5pm.


The event will take place at The People's Park, Carrigaline to create awareness and fundraise for the refurbishment of Carrigaline Playground. 


The Carrigaline Playground committee formed in January 2024 and has some ambitious plans to re-design and re-furbish the playground that has served Carrigaline so well for over 20 years.


Some of the infrastructure and play equipment needs to be replaced and the costs associated with the project are significant.


Cork County Council will be a major funding partner and the Committee are also preparing to apply for other public funds, along with organising private fundraising.



The Family Festival on September 15th will see a fundraising 'Ball Run' event which people can participate in by buying a ball for €5, or five balls for €20. 


There will be a first prize of €200, a second prize of €100 and a third prize of €50.


Admission to the festival is free, and attractions on the day will include a Treasure Hunt, an expo with Little Kickers, play with Molly's Mini Rovers, activities with KJ Strength & Performance, a Lego Blocks Building station, a kids dog show, face painting and so much more.
