Brilliant park. Well kept and plenty to keep the kids occupied. We where also lucky to be there for the 400 year celebrations.

Amazing playground. Lots to do from little ones right the way up. The toilets and baby changing facilities are just beside the park. There's also a coffee hut open at key times. Feeding the ducks is always a big hit for us. Usually parking available unless it is a very busy day when the sun is out! You can easily walk from here into the town centre.

First time here.A bit disappointed with the conservatory deck as the door was locked. Nice to walk around, not many flowers though. Park is nice and clean.

The People's Park - in Ballymena - truly is a delightful oasis, situated right in the heart of the town. Boasting beautifully landscaped gardens and meandering pathways, the park provides a serene escape for both locals and visitors alike. One of the highlights is the charming little pond, where you can often spot ducks, geese, and swans enjoying their day. With seating available alongside the pond, it’s a joy to watch the ducks - and especially so for families with young children. My little niece always has a brilliant time here, and it’s become a favourite family activity for us, during the warmer weather! There’s ample parking opportunities, an onsite ice-cream van, and while the centre is typically empty, there’s a tiny portable eatery just down a bit from it. If you’re in need of company, there’s actually a yellow bench called the ‘Chatty Bench’ - which is really lovely to see. My little niece gives this place a glowing five star review, and I concur!
