Reports of damage at Fisherwick Play Park, the People’s Park, and Tobar Park, Cullybackey
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council has called on local residents to help protect local play parks following reports of damage at a number of sites.
In a social media post, the local government authority said that anti-social behaviour had been noted at Fisherwick Play Park, the People’s Park, Ballymena, and Tobar Park, Cullybackey. “The level of damage and glass material left scattered varies across these parks. None of it is acceptable,” the post added.
"We would ask that all parents always know where their older children are. Play parks should be a safe play space for our younger residents – please help us protect them.”
The play area at the People’s Park was subject to a major renovation project in 2019.
Meanwhile, the newly-installed Fisherwick Play Park was opened in May 2025, with senior and junior multi play units, inclusive roundabout, swings, summer seating and an accessible picnic bench.
