River Walk Upgrade in Island Wood Nears Completion
By DAN O RIORDAN Newmarket Sports and Leisure Group
The Newmarket Sports and Leisure Committee is delighted to announce that, after years of planning and collaboration, the longawaited upgrade of the River Walk in Island Wood is now nearing completion and will soon be open for everyone to enjoy, offering a safe, welcoming, and environmentally sensitive amenity that will benefit the community for generations to come.
This project, which has been in development for several years, involved close consultation and collaboration with Coillte, Inland Fisheries Ireland, and National Park and Wildlife Services. The result is a newly resurfaced River Walk that will ensure accessibility for people of all abilities within our community, while also safeguarding the rich flora and fauna that make Island Wood such a special place.
The project was made possible through a combination of Sports Capital Funding, Cork County Council grants, TOMAR Trust and generous local donations, which reflects the strong community spirit that underpins initiatives like this.
We wish to recognise the support of our local Council Offices and Mallow County Council, whose assistance has been central to bringing this initiative to fruition.
We warmly invite all members of the community to come and experience the beauty of the Island Wood and to make the most of this special space right on our doorstep.
