“The lighting for the Grange Walkway has been one of our most important community projects both socially and for the promotion of health and wellbeing.” – Tomas O’Slatara, GDA
Grange Development Association (GDA) purchased and developed the Grange Community Field in 2003 . It provides the local area with a much-needed recreational space, hosting soccer matches, GAA training, running and other activities.
In 2019, GDA further enhanced the field by adding a walkway. Eager to make this new feature more accessible and usable throughout the year, the GDA applied to the LEADER programme for support to light the walkway with energy efficient LED lights, and to install electricity in the containers they were using for storage and dressing rooms.
On Lá Féile Bríde 2024, the long-awaited switch-on ceremony took place, celebrating this new chapter for Grange Community Field. Since then, the walkway lights have been illuminating the path, allowing activities to continue through the dark winter months.
Congratulations to the dedicated GDA committee whose hard work and vision has created a lasting impact on the entire community.
