A new play park has officially opened in Ederney following the completion of a project delivered through Fermanagh and Omagh District Council's Outdoor Recreational Capital Programme.

The new facility is one of 10 outdoor community spaces being developed across the district as part of the Fermanagh and Omagh PEACEPLUS Local Action Plan. The programme is supported by PEACEPLUS, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), with match-funding provided by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.

The Outdoor Recreational Capital Programme is designed to create accessible and inclusive community spaces that encourage recreation, physical activity and opportunities for people from all backgrounds to come together.
