The recent spell of fine weather along with a general stretch in the days has given us all a chance to enjoy the wonderful work that has been completed by Carlow County Council in Hanover Park.
Once very much underused, the park has undergone a major upgrade in recent years, which culminated in the opening of a new, fully inclusive playground designed with input from the local community, late last year. The playground features a range of natural and sensory play elements – including a sandpit and climbing structures – the perfect place for children of all ages to play and explore.
For older children there’s a basketball court, along with lovely walks through the park. It’s the perfect place to head if you are looking for some fun family time or simply to unwind and take in the beauty of the outdoors right in the heart of Carlow Town.
