A major regeneration project has got underway at Silverwood Golf and Leisure Complex in Lurgan, Co Armagh.

An initial Expression Of Interest (EOI) process has commenced in order to explore opportunities that will ensure access to high quality and publicly accessible recreational facilities at the site are maintained. This project will consider new proposals to benefit and improve the health and wellbeing of the local community.

Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council hopes this project will attract inward investment and potential new developments for the area. All options will be considered by the Council with a view to providing sustainable Leisure and Recreational services and facilities to benefit the local community, staff and wider region into the future.

Speaking about the potential regeneration plans the Lord Major of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council said: "The Silverwood area is well known for its outdoor leisure uses, with a long history of golfing, a ski centre and ancillary uses that the Council wishes to protect, support and sustain into the future. Enabling this to happen will require the Council to undertake a major regeneration project at Silver Wood Golf and Leisure Complex, as part of a consultation in relation to leisure and recreational investment in the area. 

"In addition to the current service and facilities provision, there is the potential, subject to sensitive reconfiguring of the site, to incorporate new uses that complement those currently in place, and contribute to the Councils ambitions to create a high quality visitor and leisure destination based on the site and its surrounding assets."
