National Recreation Week (24th – 30th June 2013)

 

National Play Day (7th July 2013)

 

A national network has been established to introduce a more coordinated and interagency approach to achieving the main goals of the play and recreation policies at both national and local level.

An early achievement of the network has been the development, expansion and branding of National Play Day & National Recreation Week which will take place in Local Authority areas across the country in June this year.

 

Targeted grants are provided to Local Authorities by the Department of Children and Youth Affairs to encourage participation across the Local Authority network.

 

In July 2012, National Play Day 2012 saw the largest ever participation with 26 Councils staging popular events on or around the dedicated date. National Recreation Week 2012 saw all counties in Ireland involved, for the first time ever.
