Another step forward for Sallins Community Park… Following positive meetings in Leinster House with Minister Thomas Byrne TD and onsite with Minister Catherine Martin, Kildare County Council have today confirmed this project is designated as the county’s priority application under the relevant sports funding scheme (LSIF). Whilst a technical move this greatly increases the prospect of the project securing significant national funding – and moving to next stage. The project, for which planning permission has already been secured, will include 2 natural grass GAA pitches, 2 natural grass soccer pitches, an All-Weather pitch, Playground, Tennis, Basketball Courts, Teen Play area, Allotments, Wetland Area and associated car parking, walking routes and canal access points. For anyone who isn’t familiar with the site, it is just past Millbank, down the canal.
