The deadline is approaching for people to make submissions on the county council’s plan to create a new public park at Pollboy, Ballinasloe.
The council plans to redevelop a 23ha plot of land just off the M6, roughly 1.5km south of Ballinasloe, half of which used to be a landfill.
Restored to its natural state for more than a decade, the area consists of woodlands, native hedgerows, grassland meadows, along with wetlands, streams, and ponds.
The goal is to create a park with multiple walking and cycling trails, a covered pavilion, and an all-ages playground.
The council is currently seeking public feedback on a draft masterplan for the park, details of which are available online here.
The deadline for public submissions on the proposed amenity park is 10pm on Thursday, November 30.
