Detailed designs for new playpark to be presented to Hazelbank and Ballymagroarty communities

The proposals will be displayed in the Hazelbank and Ballymagroarty communities for feedback in the coming weeks.

He said: "I have been engaging with council officers for a number of months to progress the development of detailed designs for the proposed new playpark in Ringfort Road which is intended to replace the existing dilapidated play provision and complement the proposed new community facilities for the Ringfort Road.

"I would urge residents of Hazelbank and Ballymagroarty to attend public presentations of the designs on Wednesday, June 19 in Ballymagroarty Community Centre from 10am until 1pm and in St. Eithne's Primary School from 6pm until 8pm.”

The designs will be subsequently presented to the council's planning committee for approval which will then allow the council to work with other stakeholders to identify funding for the project, said Colr. Heaney.
