The Brandywell Recycling Centre is to close on Friday, 17 February, to make way for the new play area which was approved by elected members last year.
The Mayor of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Alderman Hilary McClintock, said the new play park was evidence of the Council's commitment to providing quality play provision for children, and its ongoing investment in the Brandywell area and wider City and District.

Head of Environment with Derry City and Strabane District Council, Conor Canning, said: "We are moving into the construction phase for the planned play park at the Brandywell and the contractor is due on site at the end of February. To facilitate this we will be closing the Brandywell Recycling Centre from Friday the 17th of February. In the weeks running up to the closure, we will be advising residents and users of the closure and offering advice by encouraging them to use our other existing recycling sites across the Council area.
"In addition to having our state of the art and enhanced recycling facility at Pennyburn, which opened last year, we have a range of facilities throughout the city and district that are designed to cope with recycling needs for many years to come. We will be actively encouraging residents across the Council region to use these facilities to reduce, reuse and recycle."
