The newly refurbished Whitehead playpark has opened to the public.

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.
