THE Council has announced the completion of works costing €200,000 to a number of parking areas and lay-bys near Killarney National Park on the Killarney-Kenmare Road.
The works at one of the county’s top tourist attractions took place at five locations and were funded under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme of the Department of Rural and Community Development, carried out in conjunction with the National Parks & Wildlife Service.
“These works have improved parking facilities and access to trails including Dinis and the Cardiac Steps in Killarney National Park,” said the Cathaoirleach of Killarney Municipal District, Councillor Brendan Cronin.
“These are some of the busiest parking areas used for accessing the National Park and it is imperative that we have safe and accessible infrastructure to allow people to enjoy and explore the National Park. This year has thought us the value of the outdoors and projects such as these which improve and enhance access to outdoor infrastructure are more important than ever,” he added.
