Play Day; September 14th, 2024
Play Day is a national initiative aimed at promoting play and recreation opportunities for children and young people all over Ireland. Outdoor play has a positive impact on children’s social, emotional, intellectual, and physical wellbeing. Kildare County Council is proud to support this creative play initiative which is co-funded by the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Play Day is organised and run for the past 10 years by the Parks Department. If you have feedback or suggestions please let us know!
The 2023 Play Day was a very successful free family event held on Saturday 16th September. Despite the inclement weather, it was estimated that 3,500 visitors attended on the day, and over 1000 of these were children!
Preparations are underway for the 2024 Play Day. This years theme is "Time to Play".
