A newly refurbished play park has been opened on Avenue Road in Lurgan.

The facility was upgraded with toddler and junior swings, an inclusive basket swing, see-saw, inclusive roundabout, play panels and multi-play climbing units. A range of seating has also been added so parents and guardians can come along and share in the children's play experiences.

This project was delivered courtesy of an investment of £75,000. Farrans served as the lead contractor for the works while sub-contractor Garden Escapes – a specialist playground equipment company – supplied and installed the new equipment.

Lord Mayor of Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, Mealla Campbell officially opened the area.

"I am absolutely delighted to be invited along to cut the ribbon and declare this brilliant new park open!" commented the Lord Mayor.

"This is the 13th park to be completed and opened as part of our £4.75m Play Strategy and I know this has been a much anticipated park within the community. It is magical to see the children so enthusiastic and loving the variety of new equipment on offer that will be enjoyed for years to come."
