Ballysillan Playing Fields redevelopment

This is a £7.5 million project to transform Ballysillan Playing Fields into a new destination public park.

The project’s vision is to create a space where people of all ages can get active and have fun in an attractive, safe, accessible and ecologically diverse parkland setting.

Funding

The project will be funded by The Executive Office's Urban Village Initiative, the Department for Infrastructure and the Department for Communities. We will deliver the project and manage the park when it opens.

Current status

While work to install the contractor’s compound has begun, the main works won’t get underway until early 2025.

During the works, the playing fields will remain open, with sections closed in stages where needed.

We will post updates about the project on our social media channels and this web page.
