Re-Opening of the Mardyke Sports Grounds
01.04.2010
Following the November 2009 flooding, repairs/renovations to the sports facilities at the Mardyke have been ongoing. The Office of
Sport & Recreation is pleased to announce the re-opening of the Athletic
Track on Tuesday, April 6th 2010 and Synthetic Pitch on Monday,
April 12th 2010.
The GAA pitch and
Prunty pitch re-opened for use in December but works continued on other
facilities at the Mardyke.
A fully
water-based synthetic pitch has replaced the previous synthetic pitch making it
one of the most modern in Ireland.
The Athletics
Track is re-opening for use until a final decision is made as to when a new
track will be laid. New sand has
been installed in the sand pits for the long jump and the arrival of new high
jump and hurdles equipment are awaited - all destroyed in the flooding.
The Office of
Sport & Recreation would like to take this opportunity to thank the Sports
Operatives, members of Buildings & Estates Office, UCC, Sports-Works and
Seán Ahern Electrical and all others who have worked tirelessly to get the
Mardyke back in operation.
A formal opening
ceremony has been arranged for a later date.
The Office of
Sport & Recreation is now taking bookings for the facilities – you may
phone (021) 4904752 or email b.young@ucc.ie
