Play Park Strategy
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is committed to enhancing the physical and mental wellbeing of children and young people across the district. In 2021, the Council launched an ambitious Play Strategy to guide the provision, sustainable management, and development of Play Parks through to 2030.
Between 2021 and 2025, the Council successfully delivered 34 play park upgrades, representing a significant investment of over £3 million. Thanks to this commitment, all upgraded play parks now meet Silver or Gold standards, as defined by Fields in Trust guidance, reflecting the high quality and inclusiveness of these community assets.
As part of the Play Strategy, Gortin Glen Forest Park and Grange Park in Omagh have been upgraded into destination play areas. The play park at the Fermanagh Lakeland Forum will also be redeveloped as a destination play facility, delivered as part of the wider Fermanagh Lakeland Forum Redevelopment
Now in Year 5 of delivery, the Play Park Strategy is being driven forward by the Council’s dedicated Play Plan Delivery Team.
By 2030, the Council aims to establish 97 high-quality play parks across the district. This will include, 3 Destination Play Parks, 6 Neighbourhood Equipped Areas of Play and 88 Local Equipped Areas of Play. These facilities will serve local communities as well as visitors to the district from all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
