Having multiple entry/exits to the playground can make it difficult to supervise younger children. The side gate locked has been locked to try manage this safety concern. Please use the footpaths and enter the playground through the main gate.

New Zipline

New Zipline for Mountbellew Playground, created by Mountbellew Community Playground | iDonate.ie

Reopening of the Mountbellew Community Playground signified a successful iDonate fundraising campaign and LEADER grant application. Thanks to the generosity of the local and surrounding communities we raised €8,000. The money raised was vital in securing LEADER grant funding of €24,000.

After feedback from the County warden and advice from playground venders, we complied a list of works to include in our LEADER application. The combined monies (€32,000) covered cost of necessary groundworks, equipment replacement, perimeter fence repair and installation of 3 new pieces of sensory equipment.
After works were completed, the playground underwent an inspection that unfortunately deemed the zipline structure unsafe and out of use. This is a setback as the zipline is a main attraction of the playground. A new zipline has been quoted at €6,800, using all our savings we are still short. We are asking the community to kindly support us again to raise funds for a new zipline. Our target is €2,000, the easiest way to donate is through our iDonate fundraising page.
