An uprooted tree at Raphoe's Oakfield Park following Storm Eowyn
Management at Oakfield Park in Raphoe said it's heartbreaking to see some of the damage Storm Éowyn caused - but vowed to have things back on track ahead of their scheduled opening.
Trees were uprooted and windows smashed as the storm ripped through the county on Friday last, with the team at Oakfield Park currently engaged in the clean-up effort.

"Storm Eowyn's fury has taken a toll on Oakfield Park, leaving many of our beloved trees down and areas damaged," they posted. "It’s heartbreaking to see the destruction, but we want to assure everyone that our dedicated team is already on the ground, working hard to clear the debris and beginning the long process of repair.
"While we don’t open for the season until April 9, we’re committed to restoring the park’s beauty in time for your next visit.
Our thoughts are with all those impacted by the storm and those still without power. Please stay safe, and know that we’re here with you in spirit as we recover together. Thank you for your continued support."
