Dungannon Park

What You'll Find

Dungannon Park is a lovely spot just outside Dungannon town centre, with a beautiful lake, woodland walks, a children's playground and plenty of green space for the wee ones to explore.

Spread across 70 acres, the park is centred around a magnificent 13-acre freshwater lake, with walking paths taking you around the water and through the surrounding woodlands.

One of my favourite things about Dungannon Park is the walk around the lake. There's always something for the children to look out for, especially the swans and ducks swimming around the water.

And there's plenty more to discover as you explore!

The woodland paths take you over little bridges and past streams, with lots of trees and wildlife to spot along the way. It's a lovely place for a gentle wander, particularly with younger children who enjoy stopping to investigate everything.

You'll also come across the park's bandstand, surrounded by colourful flowerbeds. It's a lovely little feature and a nice spot to stop and admire the gardens.

The play park here is on the smaller side, but there's a good mix of equipment for toddlers and older children.

You'll find swings, a roundabout, monkey bars and a large tube slide, which is always a favourite with children who love a bit of climbing!

And if the playground isn't enough, there's plenty of open green space for a game of football, frisbee or simply running around.

You'll even find tennis courts within the park, giving older children another activity to enjoy.

There are lots of lovely spots to stop for a picnic too, especially around the lake and grassy areas.

And if you fancy staying a little longer, Dungannon Park also has camping and caravan facilities, which can be booked through Mid Ulster District Council.

Before You Visit

There are several walking paths around the park, including the lakeside route and woodland trails. Some areas may be muddy after wet weather, so suitable shoes are a good idea.

The lake and streams are open water, so keep younger children close while exploring.

The playground is smaller than those at some larger country parks, but there's equipment for both toddlers and older children.

If you're planning to use the tennis courts, bring your own rackets and balls and check any current court arrangements.

Camping and caravan facilities are available within the park, with booking information through Mid Ulster District Council.
