Kilmore Walking Track – Damage to lights
The club is disappointed with damage that was caused to a number of lights at the Kilmore walking track some time during Wednesday last week before 6:30pm. We ask our members and the local public who use our community facility to be vigilant and to report anything untoward to a committee member please. The walking track is an invaluable community asset to have available during these highly challenging times of the pandemic lockdown. It’s in all our interests to keep it in full working condition.
Kilmore track remains open, but no dogs allowed
The Kilmore walking track remains open. However with Level 5 restrictions it is only available for use to those within 5km / 3 miles. Please adhere to social distancing, the one way walk system and keep within members of your household bubble while walking. There are no dogs allowed on the track. Thanks.
