650 acres of forest sits in the heart of Ireland in a place called Mote Park, Roscommon… a place of natural beauty and a home to so many species of wildlife.
The woodland provides a natural habitat for children and families as they enjoy the freedom and the nature of this historical setting.
The park has journeyed with the community through the generations, giving joy and lifting spirits on its many trails.
On Saturday, 2nd of November, Mote Park continues its journey in supporting the next generation and to this end, helps to support its neighbour, Ballymurray National School, by opening its gates to the fundraising efforts undertaken by the parents of Ballymurray National School.
Music will dance through the trees of the park as parents and children of all ages, are met by witches and ghosts, tea, coffee, music, dancing, magic, games, story-telling, face-painting and lots of fun activities to enjoy throughout the historic Mote Park.
Those 650 acres pay tribute to the work of conservation groups, local authorities, the general public and facilities like Ballymurray National School where people work with nature, recognising its beauty, its benefits, its history and respectfully acknowledging how it can help to support the next generation in displaying how to nourish and nurture our rural landscape so that it can live on for many more generations to come.
A special thanks to all those that recognise the beauty of rural landscapes such as Mote Park and to Ballymurray National School for respectfully helping to keep the history of Mote Park alive. I ngach siúlóid leis an dúlra faigheann duine i bhfad níos mó ná mar a lorgaíonn sé.
We hope to see you there on Saturday, 2nd of November from noon until 3 pm. Please, bring your spirit and your spook!
