Two new play parks have been opened in Lisburn as part of an overall investment of £620,000.
The Queen Elizabeth II Play Park and the Hillhall Play Park were officially opened on Friday 22 March.
This marks significant progress in Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council's plans to refurbish six local community play parks.
Alderman Paul Porter, Chairman of the Council's Leisure & Community Development Committee, said: "The refurbishment of six local play parks to create state-of-the-art facilities within a few months has been a significant achievement by the Council and its contractor Garden Escapes. Our local communities play a key part in helping to shape the Lisburn Castlereagh area. As a council we are committed to supporting them. By providing play parks we are encouraging children of all abilities to get active and socialise."
The four other play parks at Lambeg, Moat Park, Edgar Avenue and Colby Park will open in the coming weeks.
