The playground, entrance avenue, railings, tarmacking and associated works were undertaken by Play and Leisure Services. The cost of collective works totalled €305,000 and was part funded by Local Property Tax which was allocated by the Councillors in the Naas Municipal District.

Sallins Community Playground is one of four new playgrounds funded by Local Property Tax allocated by the Councillors. The other playgrounds are in Kill which opened in 2016 and Eadestown and Caragh which were also delivered this year.
