Funded by Carrickfergus Borough Council, GROW South Antrim and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, the project was taken on by Ballynahinch-based All-Play, the firm behind the new-look Marine Gardens playpark.

The facility includes a coastal section for older children, including a pirate island and ship.

Meanwhile, the junior area incorporates a railway theme with a train and track.

The development at the playpark forms part of the wider Whitehead village Masterplan, launched in June 2011 and delivered by the Whitehead Regeneration Group.
