Carnfunnock Country Park Consultation Opens

Construction News Image
Members of the public have been invited to shape the future development of Carnfunnock Country Park in County Antrim.

Since opening in 1990, the park has remained largely unchanged, but this project will focus on future proofing the area to meet changing public needs.

A draft masterplan was previously developed, setting out an exciting vision and options for investment and improvement.

A number of these have been delivered, however, Mid and East Antrim Borough Council recognises there is more work that can be done to build on visitors' experience at Carnfunnock.

The Council is currently applying for external funding to realise the concepts within the draft masterplan, and is reaching out to residents for their input into how they would like to see their park developed.

The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor William McCaughey, said: "Carnfunnock is a real asset to Mid and East Antrim, and a must-visit destination along our world famous Causeway Coastal Route.

"Visitor numbers continue to soar, including those opting to spend time at the park on a staycation, so we are keen to ensure that Carnfunnock is fit for purpose both now and in the future.

"We have opened a consultation to get the public's views on the most recent draft plans and to take their soundings on how they would like us to proceed, should we be successful with our bid for external funding. I would encourage everybody to take part and help us to build on what is a wonderful attraction."
