What a wonderful day we had yesterday at the official opening of the Ballycroy Playground. A sincere thank you to everyone who came along to mark the occasion, including the Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary TD, along with TDs, senators and County Councillors, including the Cathaoirleach of Mayo County Council, Cllr. Sean Carey, the representatives from Mayo County Council and the lovely refreshments provided by Ballycroy Community Council volunteers in the community centre afterwards. Most of all, thank you to the wider Ballycroy community who turned out in great numbers, and particularly the children, who are exactly who this playground is for. It was a proud day for Ballycroy and a facility the whole community can enjoy for years to come.

We’re delighted to share that the Ballycroy Community Playground upgrade is now finished and officially back open for everyone to enjoy!

A huge thank you to the community for the support while the works were ongoing it’s been greatly appreciated.

We’re looking forward to seeing children, families, visitors and the wider community making the most of this fantastic local facility over the coming days, weeks, and months.

🔧 Please note that minor snagging works will be taking place over the coming days; however, this will not prevent normal playground usage.

Great to see the playground upgrade works now well underway in Ballycroy! This is a project we have been working hard on for the past 4 years, so it's brilliant to finally see it coming to life on the ground. The first new equipment has arrived on site and is already looking fantastic. We're really looking forward to watching it all come together in the coming weeks. Watch this space!
