Fermanagh and Omagh District Council delivers further playpark upgrades across the District 

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has completed four more major play park improvement projects, improving facilities for children, families and communities across the District.

The play park upgrades, in Beragh, Donagh, Loughview Drive (Enniskillen), and Erne Terrace (Derrygonnelly), represent a strategic investment in locally available physical activity, play and community wellbeing opportunities. The Council’s Play Park Strategy aims to provide modern, inclusive, and accessible spaces where children and families can play, socialise, and stay active in their local areas.

Each play park has been fully upgraded with high-quality equipment and improved accessibility, ensuring that children of all ages and abilities can enjoy safe, stimulating, and inclusive play environments. Some of the new and improved features include:

• Modern multi-play units encouraging imaginative, active, and social play
• Wheelchair-accessible and sensory play features such as level-access roundabouts, inclusive rockers, and tactile play panels
• Adventure and climbing structures designed for a range of ages and abilities
• In-ground trampolines providing fun and accessible play for all users.
• New impact-absorbing surfaces and enhanced safety and access arrangements
• Additional seating, inclusive picnic benches, and landscaping to create welcoming community spaces

As these three play parks ‘swing’ into action, work is also well underway in Strathroy & Knockmoyle Drive in Omagh and Seskinore, with even more to come in 2026.

Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Barry McElduff, said:

“The completion of these new play parks in Beragh, Donagh, Enniskillen (Loughview Drive), and Derrygonnelly (Erne Terrace) is great news indeed for our local communities.

These facilities provide safe, high-quality, and inclusive environments where children can play and families can spend quality time together.

They demonstrate the Council’s continued commitment to investing in community wellbeing and ensuring equitable access to modern recreational spaces right across the District.

On behalf of the Council, I extend sincere thanks to our partners, contractors, and local residents who supported the successful delivery of these projects. I encourage everyone to visit and enjoy these upgraded parks.”

The upgrades form part of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council’s Play Park Strategy 2021- 2030,

Over the last four years, the Council has upgraded more than 40 play parks across the District, representing an investment of over £3million. and  reflecting the Council’s commitment to quality and inclusivity.
