New Park Limavady

A fantastic new play park created at Dromore Avenue, Limavady, has been officially opened by the Mayor.

The new community facility has been made possible through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund Green Spaces Programme, with support from Council’s Estates team, who installed the equipment, with support from local residents.

Mayor Councillor Ciarán McQuillan, who officially opened the new play park, was joined by Rebekah Bleakley, Delivery Manager for UKSPF – Northern Ireland, Alan Robinson MLA, Elected Members and Council Officers.

The Mayor said: “I am delighted to be here today to officially open this new play park located here at Dromore Avenue, Limavady.

“With support from the Green Spaces Programme, this park will now provide new play equipment and seating to allow children to play in a safe and welcoming location, here within the community.

“Thank you to all those involved with this project which will allow visitors to come to the area and enjoy this wonderful new outdoor space, a resource that will no doubt benefit families for years to come.”

The funding programme is aimed at creating and improving green spaces and play areas to make them more attractive for residents and visitors.

The existing area at Dromore Avenue, Limavady was identified by Council as needing an outdoor amenity site to help provide a welcoming place for residents and visitors to meet and enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks to the funding, secured through the UK Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund, new equipment and surfacing, along with bins and seating have been installed at the Dromore Avenue site.

The UK Shared Prosperity Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills. For more information, visit https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-shared-prosperity-fund-prospectus
