What You'll Find

Antrim Lough Shore Park is a lovely spot for a family day out, with a nautical-themed playground right beside the shores of Lough Neagh. It's one of those places where you can bring the kids for a play and end up staying much longer than planned!

The playground has a nautical theme, making it a fun little spot for children who love boats and imaginative play. There's plenty of space for the wee ones to enjoy the play area before heading off for a wander along the shore.

One of the nicest things about Lough Shore Park is the setting. You can enjoy lovely views across Lough Neagh, watch the birds along the water and follow the paths around the park. There's also plenty of grass for the kids to run about on or enjoy a picnic when the weather is nice.

If your little ones enjoy spotting wildlife, keep an eye out for the different birds that visit the lough. It's a lovely place to bring binoculars if you have them, or simply stop and watch what's happening along the water.

Whether you're stopping for a quick play or bringing a picnic and spending a couple of hours exploring, Antrim Lough Shore Park is a lovely free outing for families.
