SOLAS Eco Garden Centre continues to enhance its child-friendly facilities, bringing joy to families with the introduction of a new sandpit in the play area and a collection of tactile toys in the sensory playroom.
David Maher, representing SOLAS, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Our event manager, Georgina, has introduced a fantastic addition to the play area, created from recycled and repurposed materials. It has been a tremendous hit with young children, and we are thrilled to provide fun, safe, and FREE play facilities for our customers.”
The play area has become a magnet for families, solidifying SOLAS’s reputation as a must-visit destination.
SOLAS extends its gratitude to generous customers who have contributed antique typewriters, delicate ceramics, and other fascinating artifacts, adding to the special and authentic ambiance of the centre.
