“A massive thank you to the community representatives who sit on the Newry City Park Stakeholder Group for their ongoing support and engagement in this process. Their input is incredibly valuable and will continue to play a key role in shaping the detail of the park through consultation with the appointed design team. Newry City Park is one of our strategic priorities and our work continues with partners and our stakeholders to deliver a destination leisure space of which Newry can be proud.
