Picnic in the Park, 2015

This year's Picnic in the Park takes place on Sunday, September 6 (2-5pm). We don't even need to check the long range forecast to know what the weather will be like then - the kids are back at school and that can only mean one thing .... BLAZING SUNSHINE!

What to expect? The usual mix of novelty events, puppet show, obstacle races and other sporting fun, arts and crafts, a bit of circus fun (stilt walking, juggling, fire-breathing), live music and DJ ...

However, the one thing that makes this day really special is you! You and the kids. You and the kids and the picnic. You will meet friends, share a laugh and treat yourself to a 99.

And the sun will shine and shine.

Council Agrees to Upgrade Redmond Park

At it's most recent monthly meeting Wexford District Council voted in favour of allocating funds for the upgrading of Redmond Park. A motion on the matter was proposed by Councillor Fergie Kehoe. Here is what the Councillor had to say following the meeting:

"I'd like to thank my colleagues on Wexford District Council for unanimously supporting the two motions I tabled at the Borough District Council meeting today ..... The first motion was that we would proceed with the original public park at Carcur , to include a plantation of Irish Trees , Walkway & Cycle Track and also an Amenity Area ..... The second motion was that the Council would upgrade Redmond Park in Wexford Town , to include Toddler Swings , facilities for Teens and Elderly including those with disabilities and also if possible to Reinstate the Pond , this I believe would increase the usage of the Park , especially with the new safe access form the new car park on Hill Street ..... I feel also I should give a mention to Love Redmond Park , who do tremendous work that is really appreciated."

Well done Councillor Fergie! Now we have to meet the Council and agree on exactly what works are going to be done.

When you hear the tree mulcher you know Christmas is well and truly past

Great to see so many Christmas trees brought to the park for shredding. The shredding will produce nice mulch for the town's flowerbeds. The mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil and to suppress weeds.
