Upcoming Workshops at the Playground & Leisure Area
The Playground & Leisure Area at Crann has been designed by and for Crann’s client families and friends.
It’s all about speed, movement, imagination and risky play in a fully wheelchair-accessible environment.
It features a range of experiences for all ages and abilities, along with ample accessible parking and toilets on-site.

This project is costing 500,000. Thanks to generous support from donors and corporate supporters, over €400,000 has been raised to date, but we need your support to help us reach €500,000.
Evelyn Power will be delighted to discuss how your business or corporate teams can make a donation or volunteer your time. You will be helping to open up a world of accessible play for children, adults and families with neuro-physical disabilities.

When Alice Moore, PhD Candidate at UCC School of Occupational Therapy, began research into designing this space, it was obvious that families’ needs would direct it. She describes how this can be a blueprint for future inclusive playgrounds.
Alice Moore and Dr. Helen Lynch won the Ann Beckett Award for demonstrating the core principles of Occupational Therapy in practice for their work on our Accessible Playground & Leisure Area.
