Belfast landscaper Park Hood has been appointed to develop a concept plan for Town Parks in Larne.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council wants to bring Town Parks back to its former Edwardian glory while providing a popular community space with walkways, trees, floral displays and seating areas.
Having completed an initial consultation process in 2017, the council is now seeking to develop a concept plan for the area in order to help bid for external funding.
'Town Parks' refers to Town Park, Chaine Park, the Promenade and Chaine Memorial Tower.
Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough, Councillor Lindsay Millar said: "I am excited to see council actively working towards enhancing Larne Town Parks for the future.
"The parks are a wonderful asset within the town. They are steeped in history but yet offer so much potential for current and future generations.
"I would be delighted to see investment in Larne Town Parks to bring them back to their former glory yet serving the many needs of Larne residents and the many visitors that stop to enjoy the Larne Park, Chaine Park, the promenade and Chaine Memorial Tower."
The enhancement of Town Parks will improve the quality of life for those living in the area and enhance the attractions of the area for future development.
Local residents are being urged to get involved in the process by attending one of two drop-in sessions at Larne Leisure Centre.
The details are as follows:
• Wednesday 14 November from 12noon to 5pm
• Wednesday 28 November from 2pm to 6.30pm
