Locals in Dromore have been urged to help shape the future development of play facilities in the village.
Fermanagh and Omagh District Council has launched a public consultation on the issue, with a drop-in session scheduled for later this month.
The Council approved a new Play Park Strategy in 2021 which will guide the future provision, upgrade, development and sustainable management of play parks across the district. As part of year two works for the strategy, development of the play areas in Dromore have been identified as priority.
There are currently two play parks within Dromore – Dromore village and Fairview. The draft proposals envisage the upgrade and modernisation of the parks, creating a more inclusive, fun and enjoyable play experience for all children and young people; recognising the changing demographics within Dromore.
Councillor Errol Thompson, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council said: "The play strategy aims to develop and deliver a sustainable action plan for inclusive and accessible play spaces and provision across the district that meets the needs of all our children and young people.
"I would encourage the residents of Dromore to make their views known on the plans for play facilities in the village either by attending the drop-in session or by completing the online survey."
The drop-in session will take place at Dromore Sports Complex on Tuesday 26 April from 8pm-9pm.
The online survey closes on 18 May 2022.
