Excerpt:
In previous years the site has been used for an annual Eleventh Night bonfire.
The pyre in July was moved onto land adjacent to the new activity site while work on the council-funded projected continued.
A sign on a newly landscaped area of the activity site encourages people to “keep the park clean and free from litter”.
Antrim and Newtownabbey council, which was officially opened last month, said it hoped the new activity area would help encourage people to get “more active, more often”.

“That area lay vacant and unkempt for many decades but it has been developed to enhance the local area,” he said.
