Clonown Community Site Project – Estd. 2009
The Clonown region has no purpose built recreational
area and with the lack of safe walking routes, it is difficult for local people
to walk, cycle or exercise in the area, particularly in the winter months.
Roscommon County Council is willing to provide 3 acres
of a site adjacent to the cemetery for recreational purposes. In December 2009,
a number of local people formed a committee with a purpose of developing this
site. The committee has recommended
that donations be requested from people who live within the community,
have family connections in the community, and those living in the adjoining
areas.
All donor’s names and addresses (excluding donation
amount) will be recorded in an donor register which will be stored
locally and published at a later date. The collecting of donations started in
June 2010.

launch brochure from 2010, please click here.
