Ongar Playground Gets a Fantastic Upgrade — A Huge Thank You to Fingal!
We’re delighted to share the brilliant news that our much-loved playground has received a major upgrade, and it looks absolutely fantastic.
On behalf of everyone at Ongar Tidy Towns, we want to say a massive thank you to Fingal County Council for supporting and funding this wonderful project.
This upgrade isn’t just about new equipment — it’s about giving families and children in Ongar a safe, inclusive and exciting place to play, explore and make memories. 🌿🛝
Why This Upgrade Matters 💚
For years, Ongar playground has been a place where families come together — after-school playdates, weekend adventures, or summer picnics on the grass. It’s a space where kids can just be kids.
The new improvements make the playground safer, greener and even more fun for everyone. Whether you’re swinging, climbing, or simply relaxing while the little ones play, this space has something for all ages and abilities.
What’s New 🆕
Here’s a quick look at some of the fantastic upgrades:
-
🛝 New Play Equipment – Fresh swings, slides, and climbing structures to spark imagination and energy.
-
🌿 Greener & Cleaner – New planting, pollinator-friendly flower beds, and better landscaping to create a welcoming, nature-friendly space.
-
♿ More Accessible – Ramps, inclusive equipment, and open pathways so everyone can enjoy the playground equally.
-
🪑 New Seating Areas – Improved benches and shaded spots so parents and carers can relax while the kids play.
All of this has been designed with community, safety and the environment in mind.
A Real Community Effort 🤝
None of this would have been possible without the brilliant support of Fingal County Council. Their investment in local spaces like this is what keeps communities like Ongar thriving.
We also want to give a huge shout-out to local families, schools and community members who shared their feedback and ideas. You helped shape a playground that truly reflects what Ongar values — play, connection and community pride.
Ongar Tidy Towns ❤️ Community
At Ongar Tidy Towns, we believe local action creates real change. While the funding came from Fingal, it’s the community spirit that brings spaces like this to life.
Our volunteers work hard all year — planting, painting, cleaning and caring for Ongar. This playground upgrade is a boost of energy and inspiration to keep going strong.
We’d love more people to get involved! If you can give even an hour a month, your time can help keep Ongar looking beautiful. 🌸
Playgrounds Build Stronger Communities 🏃♂️🏃♀️
A playground isn’t just a bunch of swings and slides — it’s where children grow in confidence, learn to share, and build friendships. It’s also where parents and neighbours meet, talk, and feel connected.
By investing in safe, modern play spaces, we’re investing in our children’s health, happiness and future. This upgrade is part of a bigger vision to make Ongar one of the most family-friendly, green and vibrant communities in Fingal.
Looking Ahead 🌱
The new playground is just the beginning. Ongar Tidy Towns is working closely with Fingal County Council to keep improving our public spaces.
Future community plans include:
Every project like this strengthens Ongar’s identity as a community that cares.
