Grove Playing Fields
We are currently working on some exciting new landscape designs for the land where the old Skegoneill Health Centre was situated. This land now belongs to us and once the new landscaping is complete it will form part of Grove Playing Fields.
Facilities
Orangefield Park and Victoria Park are open 24/7. The rest of our parks open at 7.30am and close at the following times throughout the year.
If a park contains a 3G pitch, its gates may remain open while the pitches are booked for play. Users must leave the park promptly after play finishes on the 3G pitches as the park gates will be locked within 15 minutes.
