Lough Boora set to get exciting new attraction as big plans approved

Lough Boora Discovery Park is set to get an exciting and novel new attraction as plans have been approved for the new development.

The recreational development will consist of repurposing and refurbishment of approximately 5km of pre-existing narrow-gauge rail line.

One refurbished, the rail line will be used for 10 to 15 Velo Rail cars which are pedal powered. 

This rail line had previously been used by Bord na Móna for peat production and transportation.

Also included in the plans is the construction of a terminus structure, pedestrian, and service vehicle access paths nd all associated site works.

Planning permission has been granted with eight conditions attached.
