Night time security to stay at play park
In September it was revealed that Lisburn City Council is having to employ 24-hour protection to secure the new 750,000 play area at the Park from vandals.
At the time a council spokeswoman confirmed night security at the park was being provided by an external security firm and was discussing increased patrols with the PSNI, she added.

It was also agreed that the security arrangements be reviewed following the Halloween period and that a detailed record of any incidents which occurred in the Wallace Park be kept in order to assist with future decisions relating to security.
