Celbridge - Abbey Playground

LJ3103

Hello

I have heard a few people taking about a newly reopened playground called Abbey Playground. I am fairly new to the celbridge area so I was hoping somebody might be able to give me directions to the playground from the Mill


Thanks

Oooh delighted to see Celbridge Abbey back open if that's the case many a childhood memory there.

Directions from the Mill- walk out the gates, turn left (away from the village) and walk about 100m. You'll see it in to your left.

Thank you, is the entrance through the door way on the right hand side of the carpark ?

It should be, unless they've moved it, but that's doubtful.

lets hope they put in a good playground. The only downside is then having to pay for parking if you drive there. :mad:


Its a disgrace that a town the size of celbridge hasnt got a good, big playground. There is one beside Aghards, but thats small and has very little in it.


Personally I think there should be a big playground put into the grounds at Castletown house.

Dragging up an old thread here... any idea if this is open at the weekends? All details I can find says Mon-Fri only

The days it is open were extended to Saturdays (but not Sundays) a number of months ago. However they have yet to update the signage. A major new climbing frame for slightly older kids (perhaps 4+ or 5+ years) has also been added, providing a welcome diversification of activities.

Does it open all year round or just for summer?

I passed by it this morning (Saturday) around 11.00 - the entrance was open.
