Monread playground to 'open in August' NAAS, 27 June 2002: by Brian Byrne. The long-awaited playground in Monread Park (above) 'will be opened in August', outgoing mayor of Naas Willie Callaghan told the town council at the AGM this week. And he said that with planning permission now cleared for the Swimming Pool operated by Kildare County Council, that the possibility of establishing a second playground at the Fair Green site 'should be looked at'. "It's also great to see the housing scheme on the Caragh Road started," he said in his outgoing address. "But we must move much faster with social housing ... where we have land available, we should use it quickly." Mayor Callaghan referred to the twinning visit to Omaha, and his visit to St David's in Wales in March, a visit which was reciprocated by a delegation from there for the Easter celebrations which included the boat rally (above) to the refurbished harbour. "I hope the sight of so many boats in the harbour will becomes an annual event," he said.
