Portglenone Marina / Play Area

Full Description

Portglenone Marina is a nice one for families who enjoy a play park with a little walk afterwards. The play area gives the children somewhere to burn off energy, while the marina and River Bann make a lovely backdrop for a wander. There is always something interesting about watching the water and boats, and it is an easy outing to keep simple: play, a short stroll and maybe a picnic if the weather is kind.

This is the sort of outing where you can keep things really simple. Let the wee ones have a good play, then follow the waterside paths and watch for boats on the River Bann. The marina gives the area a lovely setting, and there are spots where you can stop and enjoy the views. If you are planning a longer day, Portglenone Forest is another nearby place to explore, especially when the bluebells are out in season.

The council opened a new Multi Use Games Area alongside an upgraded play park here, so there's space for ball games as well as play equipment.

What You'll Find

Children can enjoy the play area while families take in the marina and riverside setting. The surrounding paths make it easy to add a short walk and watch boats or wildlife on the Bann.
