Westport Town Councillors voted on Thursday night to develop a new 2 acre public park beside the Railway Line walk. The park will be designed by TV's Celebrity Gardener Diarmuid Gavin and will feature a Multi Use Games Area. The design and building of the park will be filmed and will be shown on RTE in the new year.
The park will be located in the triangular area between the two bridges which cross the Green way in Cloonmonad. Diarmuid Gavin has already visited the site and will now draw up his vision for the park. The project will also include Westport's first and long awaited skateboard park.
Cllr Keith Martin has warmly welcomed the development saying it is another excellent leisure feature for Westport.
"The park will provide a rest area for people using the Greenway and the games area will facilitate and promote sports and fitness activities. The park also ties in with sustainable transport as users can access it from the town or Quay via the Greenway. Because the park is overseen from both main roads and accessed from the Greenway we expect it to be very busy and popular and thus we expect there to be no issue with anti-social behaviour."
