The Memorial Children's Park, or Redmond Park as it is more widely known, is a quaint and charming oasis right in the heart of Wexford town. It was formally established in 1933 to remember Major Willie Redmond who died in 1917 in the Great War. In the decades since it has given joy to generations of Wexford families and it remains a favourite with Wexford families today. Redmond Park deserves a blog!

Another Successful Picnic!
Well I am happy to report that both Picnics went off wonderfully well last weekend: the plugged-in shindig above in Stradbally and our own very much unplugged affair in Redmond Park! There was sunshine and laughter, slush puppies and ice cream, candy floss and ... wasps! And the only reason the wasps were buzzing about was because some young lads decided to stone their nest!!
Overall this was a hugely enjoyable day with loads going on. You could go from the swings to the BIG BENCH, back down to the puppet show; then get active with obstacle races, turbo-javelin throwing and ball skills; get creative at the pot decorating table before moving on to get your hands dirty at the potting and sowing table. The afternoon was soundtracked by DJ Cullie with a special guest appearance by award-winning local band The Ocelots. And all the while the sun smiled down on this fun-filled, end-of-Summer party.
