Ballintoy Play Park

Honestly one of the better-kept parks in the Ballycastle area — the place is consistently tidy, which isn’t something you can say about every playground around here. The basketball court gets a decent bit of use but rarely feels overcrowded, so the kids can actually get a proper game going without queuing around. It’s a quiet enough spot, tucked into the neighbourhood, which makes it handy if you want somewhere to sit without the chaos of a busier facility. Good for under-12s, and there are toilets on site, which — trust me — matters more than people think.
