Donegal playgrounds: all 51 council playgrounds, district by district
Donegal County Council manages 51 playgrounds. We sell play equipment for gardens, so we went through the council's five district lists and put every playground on one page, for the days when the children need somewhere new to run.
The names are the council's own. Follow the link under each district for its list, with addresses, or open the council's map of every playground. The free Donegal Playground Passport is a pocket guide to them.
