Two play parks in the County Tyrone village of Fintona are set to be significantly upgraded.

Key upgrades will take place at Ecclesville and Ashfield Gardens Play Parks starting on Monday 12 September.

These works are part of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council's ambitious Play Park Strategy to develop, transform and upgrade the Play Park estate. The works will include the upgrade of the play equipment and the provision of inclusive play facilities.

Speaking about the works, the Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Barry McElduff, said: "I am delighted to see the continued roll out of the Council's (FODC) Play Park Strategy across the District.

"The Council (FODC) is committed to ensuring that our people are healthy and well physically, mentally and emotionally. The provision of play park facilities contributes significantly to this by providing a safe place for children and young people to be active and connect with others.

"This provision also helps to meet the recreation and play needs of families. Play parks can be a 'lifesaver' in this respect."

The works are scheduled to be completed in December 2022.
