May 2019

Come along to The Marina Park (see map below) on Sunday 5th May for a picnic and a Pop-up Playground! Loads of great toys, games to play and fun for all the family!!

There is no parking along the Marina so why not take this opportunity to walk, cycle or scoot your way down to us – much better for the environment too! The nearest parking is at Blackrock Village, Ursulines Convent, and Páirc Uí Chaoimh (Marina side).

We are looking forward to seeing you all there for great afternoon of community fun. Admission is FREE so bring the whole family with a picnic and join in with the activities and music in the park!
