Portadown play park work to kick off £2.3m programme across ABC Borough
Work is due to begin at Abercorn play park in Portadown on Monday, November 23 as the first project in a major programme of investment to upgrade play facilities across the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon (ABC) Borough.
The council is investing £2.3m through its Capital Play Development Programme, which will deliver the refurbishment of 12 existing play parks and the development of five new play parks over the next two years.
Contractors Garden Escapes Ltd will commence works at Abercorn play park, before moving on to Pinebank play park in Craigavon on January 4, 2027, and Huntly Playpark in Banbridge on January 24.
Each of these projects is expected to take 10 to 12 weeks to complete.
A spokesperson for ABC Borough Council said the council will work closely with the local communities and stakeholders through the delivery of each project to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum.
