Full Description

Portrush Recreation Grounds is a lovely place to add to a day on the North Coast. Close to the seafront, it offers a change from the beach and a chance to enjoy outdoor recreation with views of the coastline. It's a good stop when the children are ready for something different after a walk along the promenade. Because the activities available can change, it's worth checking what's currently running rather than promising a particular attraction.

Portrush Recreation Grounds is a lovely addition to a North Coast family day out when you want something a little different from the beach. Set close to the promenade, it's a place for outdoor recreation with sea views, so you can enjoy the coastal atmosphere while taking a break from sandy feet. The activities and facilities on offer may vary, so it's worth checking what's currently available for your children's ages rather than planning around a particular attraction. Once you've finished, you can head back to the promenade, enjoy an ice cream or carry on exploring Portrush. It's a handy extra stop rather than somewhere you need to spend the whole day.

What You'll Find

The outdoor play area gives younger children space to climb, play and explore in a fantastic coastal location. Portrush harbour, beaches and food options are all close enough to extend the visit.
