Refurbishment work at Drumglass Park in south Belfast has been completed.

As part of the £400,000 project, funded by Belfast City Council, the playground was refurbished, pathways in the park upgraded as well as a new drainage system, reseeding was carried out and the installation of new park furniture, lighting and new artwork at the park.

Artist Eleanor Wheeler was commissioned by the council for the new artwork joining local schools and community groups in the design process which led to the creation of three pine cone sculptures located across the park.
