Deadline approaches for submissions on plans to redevelop playground in Waterford town

The deadline is approaching for stakeholders and members of the public to make submissions in relation to the proposed redevelopment of the playground at the Promenade in Tramore.

The local authority is proposing to remove and replace existing end of life equipment with high-quality timber structures for use by children aged between 5 and 12.

It is also proposed to provide an additional play space for younger children, aged 2 – 5, to the South of the existing playground.

Waterford City and County Council is inviting public feedback on the proposal to extend and redevelop the existing playground in the seaside town.

"This initiative aims to enhance recreational facilities for residents and visitors alike, contributing to the vibrancy and inclusivity of the local community," reads a notice which has been published as part of the public consultation.

"The proposed development will focus on upgrading the current playground to better serve the needs of children and families. The overarching goal is to create a more engaging, accessible, and safe play environment that complements the coastal setting of Tramore," it adds.

The local authority says it's important that stakeholders and members of the local community engage with the public consultation process to ensure the redevelopment reflects the aspirations and requirements of those who use the space most.

Details of the proposed redevelopment can be found here and any observations can be submitted up to 4pm on Wednesday, May 14 2025.

Submissions can be made online, by email or by post.
