The play park is set in the grounds of the beautiful Tannaghmore Gardens and Rare Breed Animal Farm.

It has been closed for several months as work got underway but is now open to the general public.

This facility will have the largest investment in fixed play so far in ABC Council.

It is tailored for specific age groups with areas for young children and toddlers, as well as more challenging play equipment, such as a zip line, for older children and teenagers.
