Lovely park! A beautiful place to rest in this summer heat. Beautifully maintained gardens, plenty of large tree shade, fountain area and abundant variety of flowers to admire flowers and it's literally right in the city!

Went to the Lisburn light trail on Friday night with my 9 year old son. He loved it. Loved the lights and he especially loved toasting marshmallows.

My family took me here to see the illuminations. It was the most amazing Christmas experience for the family. The whole park was decorated in Christmas shapes and lights of all sorts. From a big Christmas tree to little mushroom shapes. The trees were illuminated of which was beautiful. We had to queue to get in and it was long. There were thousands of people stroke families there. It was free to enter and the rides were free for the children. Food and drinks stalls al over. And prices were reasonable. Seeing santa was free and he was great with the children. They got a selection box to. The atmosphere was wonderful as everyone wanted to have fun. Despite the weather being bad. There is parking in the town but as you can expect with such a large crowd. It became limited. We had a fantastic evening and came home with huge smiles on our faces. Please go you will enjoy it. Easy access if your disabled. And the park has toilets.
