Families in Glenties have welcomed the reopening of the local community playground this week.
The playground had been closed to the public since October 2019 over insurance costs and maintenance issues.
The popular amenity has since undergone repairs and is now back open, thanks to local fundraisers and donations.
Naomh Conaill’s Martin Doherty said: “All repairs have been carried out and a see-saw has been added. The cost of the repair work has been covered but we do still need to raise the funds to cover the cost of the see-saw.”
An X Factor fundraiser is taking place in the Highlands Hotel on Friday night to raise money for the new equipment, with the second half of the funds raised going towards the Glenties Day Centre.
The Glenties Community Development Group has congratulated everyone involved “who worked so hard to get this great facility for our children back up and running”.
“The only other thing that may be required is some decent weather for the kids to enjoy the playground!” Martin added.
