Play parks

Update February 2021

Our parks and playparks currently remain open to allow people to take daily exercise locally. Please be responsible if enjoying our beautiful parks and open spaces:

  • Keep your distance from others
  • Maintain good hand hygiene
  • If bins are full, take your litter home and recycle it appropriately
  • Be considerate of others and #ShareTheSpace
  • Keep dogs under control

Following Northern Ireland Executive guidance, all 68 play parks across the Borough reopened 10 July 2020 on a pre-covid basis with a focus on user self-regulation. That means parents and guardians are required to take responsibility for social distancing and appropriate supervision. Reopening has been subject to risk assessments carried out in accordance with the HSE NI recommendations
