The Mid and East Antrim Borough Council facility has been upgraded to a vibrant, inclusive and modern play space.
Featuring a wide range of new equipment, improved safety surfacing, enhanced accessibility and welcoming seating areas, council says the redevelopment reflects its commitment to providing areas that support play, wellbeing and community connection.
The Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Councillor Jackson Minford, said: “We are delighted to see the completion of the Greenisland Play Park refurbishment. This investment provides a high quality, accessible space for children and families in the area to enjoy for many years to come.
“Play has a vital role in supporting the health and wellbeing of our children and young people. We thank the local community for their patience during the redevelopment and look forward to seeing the park filled with fun, energy and laughter.”
In February, upgraded play parks reopened in Carnlough and Ballymena.
