An ambitious opening day, featuring hot air balloon demonstrations, is taking place at the new 18-acre Eco Park in Roberstown on May 2.
The people behind the project explained that “for nearly two decades, the vision of developing a dedicated community space in Robertstown has been steadily taking shape.”
"Three years ago, the Robertstown Community Amenities Association (RCAA) restored the historic 52m canal barge, which now operates as a floating community centre and has hosted everything from weddings and council meetings to music and movie nights.
“Not satisfied with this exceptional success, RCAA has built on that momentum and is now on the threshold of delivering a unique and unprecedented community driven project: an 18 acre Eco Park designed to serve all generations.”

The entrance is across from the national school in Robertstown. RCAA also has plans to construct a boardwalk linking the park to the Greenway, as well as a services building with toilets and showers.
