Have your say on play provision at the People’s Park

The People’s Park is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year and, to celebrate, the Council has committed to invest in new facilities for the many children and young people who enjoy the park in their leisure time.

An online survey has been created and people are being encouraged to engage with Council on the future of the park. The consultation period will remain open for four weeks.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, councillor Peter Johnston, said: “I would welcome everyone to submit their ideas on the new facilities they would like to see in People’s Park. Take 10 minutes out of your time to fill in the survey so the needs of the entire community are fully met.”

Phase One was completed in September 2019 and saw the installation of a large, inclusive multi-play unit. This month, work will begin on the delivery of phase two of the play area which will see the two existing play areas combined and extended to provide a new, inclusive play experience for children visiting the park. This phase of work is due to be completed by Easter 2021. The survey closes at 4pm on Monday, September 14. To submit your views, visit ://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PeoplesPark
