Discover the wildlife around the lakes and see their natural habitats. Information boards makes it fun and easy to learn about various plants, insects and animal life. People can see how local habitats function and in turn, teach others the importance of protecting the ecosystems of Naas.

Another story is of Naas workhouse, which opened in the 1840’s to help the poorest in the community.
