Derry City and Strabane District Council invites residents to attend a series of public information sessions on three new play parks in the Derg electoral area on Tuesday 20 and Thursday 22 August
The play parks are at Hillview Play Park in Castlederg, Glebe Play Park and Cluny Gardens Play Park in Clady.
Plans will be on display in three locations across Strabane and Castlederg, and residents are invited to drop in anytime between 3-7pm to view the designs.
The Mayor of Derry and Strabane Councillor, Lilian Barr, has encouraged people to attend the events local to them, so the project and design could be tailored to meet their needs.
“This is a key element of the design phase of the new Play Park project and an opportunity to speak directly with the design team,” she said. “Outdoor play provision for children is a key priority in our Strategic Growth Plan and we have invested significantly in parks projects throughout the City and District through Council’s Play Plan.
“We believe the provision of outdoor play facilities is critically important to the lives of children and young people contributing to the development of essential skills that support social, intellectual, physical, and emotional wellbeing. It also provides a means of connecting with the wider community as well as plenty of opportunities for fun and enjoyment.”
