Farrans and Garden Escapes created brand-new parks in Woodlands, The Birches and Mahon Road.
The £200,000 project included the installation of junior and senior units, basket swings, swings with an inclusive harness, monkey bars, inclusive roundabouts, see-saws, springers and play panels.
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Alderman Margaret Tinsley, said: "Play is a fundamental part of children's growth and development – socially, emotionally, physically, and educationally. The new play parks are a fantastic asset to these areas, and I encourage children and their parents/carers to get outdoors, enjoy the fresh air, make new friends and have fun trying new things. The variety of equipment across these parks is impressive and there is something to suit all children so I hope they enjoy getting outside to play!"

This investment is part of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s £4.75 million Play Strategy, which will refurbish a number of play parks across the borough.
