Work has been completed at Limavady's new accessible play park.

Paralympic athlete Sally Brown and pupils from Rossmar School were the special guests at the official opening.

Located at Roe Mill Recreation Grounds, the facility offers state-of-the-art play opportunities for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy together.

Covering an extensive footprint, it features different zones and exciting play equipment including an inclusive orbit roundabout, booms tubes and interactive activity wall. Or for something quieter, spend some time in the Chill Zone or explore the accessible trail which provides a sensory experience for all users.

The site also benefits from an inclusive 'Changing Places' facility, located in the adjacent Pavilion building. It was completed earlier this year with partnership funding provided through the Department for Communities’ Access and Inclusion Fund.

Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council Councillor Richard Holmes said: "The new play park has been open to the public since November and we’re delighted with the positive reaction it has received since then. It is a fantastic addition to the Limavady area for local families, our schools and visitors and its popularity is testament to this. It’s a welcoming and safe space for play which is vital for the health and wellbeing of all our young people and I’m very proud that Council is once again leading the way by providing innovative and inclusive opportunities like this.

"We've already witnessed the success of the Diversity Park at Flowerfield in Portstewart which brought fully accessible play to the Borough for the first time when it opened in 2016 and I'm very pleased to now see this replicated here in Limavady as Council continues to deliver for our local communities."
