Lough Boora Parklands

Sculpture in the Parklands continues to develop its infrastructure with the launch of a visitor’s pavilion, the extension of its walkways, additional bridges, and information panels along the walkways.

The Artist-in-Residency programme continues to engage artists in the development of new works of art inspired by the areas rich cultural heritage. Collaborative projects with University College Dublin, the Crafts Council of Ireland and Bord na Móna will further extend its remit.

The development of an education programme will provide a badly needed educational resource within Offaly County for children to study contemporary art practice, environmental studies, geography, mathematics and the industrial heritage of Ireland.

As a ‘European Art Destination’, Sculpture in the Parklands has the opportunity to provide cultural tourism opportunities that would generate income within the local community.
