A gap in play provision was identified in the Eden a number of years ago and Council made a commitment then that it would address that gap.
“With Council not owning any land to build a new play park, it made perfect sense to partner with Eden Primary School in order to deliver a new play facility which will benefit the school as well as the local community.”
Dr Sheeran, Principal of Eden Primary School said: “We are very grateful for the work done by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and the Education Authority to provide a first class play facility which will be enjoyed for years to come by the pupils of Eden Primary School and the local community.”
