Ticknock forest is known for hosting some of the best biking and walking trails in Ireland. Countless people share the trails, immersing themselves in the striking beauty that Ireland has to offer. However, in stark contrast to the natural amenities, the availability of facilities on these trails is totally inadequate.

When biking.ie closes at 4:30pm, trail users are left without the critical convenience of tool stations and the basic necessity of filling up their water bottles. A forest that encourages recreation should not lack essential facilities, as quality services are an integral part of recreational experiences.

It's time we fix this! We're asking for the installation of water pumps and tool stations at the top of Ticknock. Such facilities will ensure that the needs of trail users are met, irrespective of what time they choose to visit. It is a small but necessary step towards making the outdoors more accessible and enjoyable for everyone, fitting for a forest that shines as one of Ireland's outdoor gems.

We want to urge officials to implement these basic, yet essential services, and in turn, improve the experience at this cherished local area. Help us make sure the call for better facilities at Ticknock are heard loud and clear. Sign the petition now.
