New Multi-Use Games Area Officially Opened In Dublin
A new multi-use games area, or MUGA as they have become known, has been officially opened in Dublin.
Representing the Lord Mayor Oisin Quinn, Councillor Lucy McRoberts unveiled a plaque to mark the opening of the MUGA at Aldborough Place, off Portland Row in Dublin 1.
The site comprises a floodlit all-weather tarmac surface, marked and equipped for both football and basketball.
The perimeter walls have been painted in anticipation of a sporting themed mural being painted during the Easter holidays by local children.
Councillor McRoberts said: "I'm delighted to be here to launch this new Multi Use Games Area at Aldborough Place. The opening of this facility will undoubtedly greatly benefit the local community here in the North East Inner City.
"There is a real need for facilities of this type throughout the city, which promote health, fitness and play in conjunction with improving public spaces."
The project was funded by the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport under the Sports Capital Programme 2012 and supplemented by funding from Dublin City Council for Public Realm improvements in the immediate area.
