Antrim Lough Shore Play Park

Right on the edge of Lough Neagh, this place gets it right in a way a lot of parks don’t — the equipment is genuinely accessible, not just a token ramp bolted on as an afterthought. The boat and tower setup is a proper centrepiece, and older kids actually want to use it rather than standing around looking bored. Swings, slides, climbing frames — there’s enough here to keep a range of ages busy for a good couple of hours. When the kids need a break, the walking path along the lough is worth doing; swans are basically guaranteed. Honestly one of the better days out in the area, and locals know it.
