Both of these options for older children have proved popular and the Commissioners will continue to invest and improve leisure facilities for children within the parish.

Cronk Grianagh Park

Cronk Grianagh Park is located between the Heritage Trail and the Ballanawin Housing Estate in Union Mills.

There is a dedicated car park located next to the Heritage Trail which is accessed from the Snugborough Housing Estate, or if on foot or bicycle, from the Heritage Trail itself or the Ballanawin Housing Estate.

The park has been in the Commissioners ownership for several years and they have improved it beyond recognition with the addition of new playground equipment, a BMX track and the only urban Skate Park on the island. There are plenty of picnic tables and an enclosed area to exercise dogs.

The original Skate Park was constructed in 2012 and an extension added in 2016. It is the only concrete urban skate park on the Island and is very popular with all ages. Regular events and competitions are held there.
