Walk and talk on origins of the Valley park

The original deeds to the Valley, bought by Kilcullen Community Council in 1973.

Kilcullen's Valley riverside park is at the heart of the town, yet many of the newer families here are likely unfamiliar with its origins, writes Brian Byrne. A walk and talk on Saturday, 23 August, provides a chance to learn more. 

It's a story of vision, creative fundraising, and dedication to a project that many initially thought was crazy. 

The event begins at 2.30pm and will be led by Noel Clare, a longstanding Kilcullen community activist and a founding member of Kilcullen Community Action. 

A predecessor organisation, Kilcullen Community Council, acquired a previously inaccessible two-acre riverside site in 1973 and carried out its subsequent development. 

The talk is a contribution by KCA to National Heritage Week.
