The first steps are being taken for a long-term masterplan for Oranmore's Renville Park.
A period of public consultation is now underway.
Renville Park, which is in the joint ownership of the City and County Councils, is an important habitat for wildlife and a valuable amenity for local people and visitors.
The County Council has commissioned a Sustainable Development Plan for the future of the park, with funding from the Department of Rural and Community Development.
A consultancy team led by landscape architects Cunnane Stratton Reynolds will work with the council, local stakeholders, and members of the public to shape a ten-year plan for the park.
An opportunity to meet the consultancy team and to talk to them about the park is underway at Oranmore Library until 7 this evening.
The event marks the start of an initial two-week public consultation process during which the public is invited to make submissions in person or online to [email protected].
The council says a second consultation process will take place once proposals are drafted.
