We have a wide variety of award-winning parks and open spaces across Mid and East Antrim.

Seven of our parks and open spaces have been awarded the national Green Flag standard for excellence in open space management and provide the perfect opportunity for getting out and getting active.

We work with a dedicated team of volunteers and partners to maintain and improve the parks and other public open spaces within the borough, and to ensure continued access to the countryside for everyone to enjoy.
