Funding Secured To Develop Major Walk At Mallow Town Park In Cork

Avondhu Blackwater Partnership, in association with Cork County Council, has secured funding of €128,000 to develop a major walk at Mallow Town Park.

This represents the largest individual allocation to any project in Ireland in the current round of Rural Recreation funding approvals.


Minister of State for Regional Economic Development, Michael Ring, said: "Investment in recreational facilities has a proven effect in boosting local economies and assisting in the creation and retention of employment in the hospitality, tourism and services sectors in rural Ireland."

In total, 75 projects are being funded in the first round of allocations under the 2016 Rural Recreation Scheme.
