QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor P. Foley

Exercise machines for parks in the County - are there plans to extend the scheme in 2016?

REPLY:

In 2012, the Council installed 137 items of outdoor exercise equipment in the form of twelve exercise trails in eleven parks throughout the county.

The equipment was installed in the following parks and has proven to be quite successful and popular with the public.

  1. Beechfield Park
  2. Greenhills Park
  3. Glendown Park
  4. Tymon Park (2 trails)
  5. Griffeen Valley Park
  6. Waterstown Park
  7. Hermitage Park / Mount Andrew.
  8. Kingswood Park
  9. Rathcoole Park
  10. Corkagh Park
  11. Ballymount Park

While there are no current proposals to install outdoor exercise equipment in additional parks at this time, if there are locations which the Elected Members wish to have considered as sites for exercise equipment, the details should be submitted to the Public Realm Section for examination.
