The design of the new play park was developed following a community consultation process which helped shape this fantastic provision for children of all abilities. 

The project - which aimed to create a more inclusive and accessible space - has transformed the park into a vibrant and exciting playground for children of all ages.

The play park now boasts a range of exciting new equipment and play structures - including swings, slides, climbing frames plus much more. It was designed with accessibility in mind to ensure that children of all abilities can enjoy it.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Gerardine Mulvenna, said: “It is great to see the completion of this work – such an amazing resource for the local community!

“This play park has been refurbished as part of the Council’s Play Investment Framework and Out to Play Strategy which aims to create a more inclusive and accessible space for all.  This strategy and ongoing investment demonstrates the importance placed on play throughout the Borough.

“I am particularly delighted to see that there is a greater emphasis on ease of access and inclusivity. This play park will ensure future generations of children can come together to play and have fun!”

Mid and East Antrim Borough Council are committed to providing safe, accessible and inclusive play parks across the Borough with annual investment in play parks in line with the Council’s Out to Play strategy and Play Investment Framework.
