“It is important that everyone looks after the park, not just the Policing and Community Safety Partnership and the PSNI.

“We want to encourage local residents and park users to ‘own’ the park, take pride in it, look after it and protect it from vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

“By doing so they will not only be improving the safety and security of the park but also the surrounding area” said Chair of the Policing and Community Safety Partnership, Councillor Julie Flaherty.
