Visitors can expect to find a wonderful corridor connecting wildlife and people, with a patchwork of award-winning Parks, Demesnes, woodland, and meadows. They can explore the rich heritage from the Lagan Navigation to the early Stone Age settlers.
The Lock Keeper's Cottage and the Industry Lighter have been fully restored through a range of funding sources, including Heritage Lottery, European, Government, and Council funding. Works have also been completed on Lock No.3 as part of the Laganscape Project.
Visitors can help support the vision of the park by exploring, learning, and enjoying the riverside heritage, while ensuring a sustainable environment for all. They can also contribute by monitoring key species and reporting their sightings to the park office.
There is an exciting range of volunteer opportunities at the park, including opportunities to get involved in various projects and activities. Interested individuals can check out the volunteering section on the park's website or contact the Volunteer Co-ordinator for more information.
Generally, the cottage and barge are open from 10am to 4pm on weekdays, with weekend opening on the last weekend of the month. However, opening times may vary depending on volunteer availability, so visitors are advised to check with the park office if they find the facilities closed.
