“Along with my colleagues Councillor Paul Greenfield and Ian Wilson, we have been championing the case for significant improvement in play facilities across Banbridge and in nearby rural villages.

We are delighted to see this new park at Cline Road, which represents significant delivery of our objectives for improvement to local play parks. Looking at the range of play equipment provided, I know it will bring opportunity for great fun and enjoyment for local children.

I commend the local community group here for their work alongside political representatives in helping to deliver this park. Community volunteers are the backbone of so much that is good in our local area and this is a great example of what can be achieved with vision and determination.”
