Con Smith Park closed at night

A DECISION has been taken to close the playground at Con Smith Park to the public during night-time hours.

Cavan County Council opted to close the facility after “repeated incidents of anti-social behaviour” at the children’s playground.

From Monday, November 17, the playpark will be closed between from 5pm to 8am.

In an online post, the council said it “appreciates the public’s understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for everyone to enjoy”.
