Community playground and MUGA in pipeline for east Mayo village

A Mayo TD has welcomed progress on the new community playground and multi-use games area (MUGA) for Tooreen.

The site will be located at the old MUGA court and adjacent to St. Brigid’s National School.

The project includes the installation of a playground and new MUGA, fencing, safety surfacing, as well as lighting and CCTV works.

Deputy Alan Dillon said: “It is great to see another playground and new MUGA being planned for Mayo and particularly in east Mayo.

"I understand efforts are currently underway to progress this proposal and it would be great to see movement over the winter months and ideally a new facility in place before next summer.

"These community facilities are great for families with young children and really add to the quality of life in Mayo.”
