Location for new skateboard park in Carlow Town decided

A new skatepark for Carlow will be located on the Burrin Road in the town

The €170,000 project has been given the green light and members of the council plan to visit similar facilities around the country now before construction starts on it.

Meanwhile it has been proposed that young people from Carlow decorate the completed project in Graffiti, as an art project.

Speaking to KCLR news, Councillor John Cassin says by doing this, they hope it will decrease the amount of unwanted graffiti in the town.
