Newry City Park

Planning Committee approval has now been granted for Newry City Park, giving the green light to deliver one of the district’s most transformative regeneration projects.

A centrepiece of the Council’s Newry City Centre Regeneration Project, Newry City Park is destined to become a major destination for play, sport, leisure and outdoor recreation, supported by £16.2 million in Complementary Funding through the Department for Communities. 

Spread across a 15-acre waterside location at the city’s Albert Basin, the area will be transformed into a vibrant, inclusive green space where people can relax, enjoy nature and take part in community events. From waterside walks and natural play areas to urban sports areas and flexible event spaces, residents and visitors will enjoy a transformed City Centre experience, with links to the Carlingford Lough Greenway.
