“The Council acquired the land from the Roads Service and secured part funding from Lagan Rural Partnership under DARD’s Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme 2007-2013.

“The state of the art play equipment which will be installed will be suitable for children aged between four and 14 years of age; and safety matting will be used.

“The Council is very keen to ensure that local communities within the Lisburn area have access to leisure facilities; and this play area is one of its newest capital development projects. It is delighted to have awarded a tender to the value of £83,000 to The Crawford Contracts Group to undertake the construction.

“I look forward to the project being completed by mid April and I hope that the local residents will enjoy using the new play area,” he concluded.
