Final push for Ballydribbeen playground project
The Ballydribbeen Residents Association is making a final push to raise funds for their long-awaited Playground Project.
While they've made substantial strides through successful fundraising events, the association is currently facing a €2,000 shortfall. To bridge this gap and reach their €10,000 goal, they're making a final push by reigniting their GoFundMe campaign.
They also released, for the first time, an artist’s impression of the finished project.
“We are still running fundraisers, but we have made significant progress in the project. We officially voted on the project, so finally playground has become visual,” said committee member Iza Dian.
“We would like to spread that to the community and promote GoFundMe page one more time, our goal as a team is to reach to €10k we have over €8k so far.”
The new playground will be located on the grounds of the Dereen Sports Centre which is currently under construction beside Killarney Celtic FC and Legion GAA Club.
“We are so exited and thrilled with all support we receiving from Killarney Municipal District, local councillors and businesses. The fact that playground will be inclusive is quite important especially that sport centre will be a home for Kerry stars too, it will be multipurpose, local kids will have a proper outdoor gym,” added Iza.
