The refurbishment of Eden Play Park in Carrickfergus has taken a major step forward with local council funding.

Funds of £175,000 have been allocated by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council to support the development.

The play park, which is currently located at Eden Primary School, will be upgraded with new equipment suitable for a wider range of children.

Chair of the Council's Direct Services Committee, Cllr Cheryl Johnston said: "As a council we are committed to the continual improvement of our borough's infrastructure and I am delighted council members have agreed to revamp Eden Play Park."

Eden Primary School will have exclusive use of the park during school hours with the park open to the public thereafter.

The council will also work in partnership with the school in relation to ongoing maintenance, cleanings and inspections.
