MORE EASTER ADVENTURE
Easter is a great time to get outdoors and experience our parks. The trees are at their greenest, bird song is at its noisiest. The daffodils are in full blaze, the hedgerows and woodlands are enjoying a first flush of colour, and May’s wild garlic and bluebells are on their way. Here are a few more ideas for a great family outing this Easter:
🌱 Say hello to the new spring arrivals at Tannaghmore Gardens & Animal Farm.
🌱 Hurtle down the zip line from Castle Tower or brave the Fearsome Giant at the 3km Adventure Trail at Gosford Forest Park this Easter.
🌱 Get the adrenaline pumping at the free Urban Sport’s Facility at Solitude Park, perfect for young people aged 10+ years interested in skateboarding, BMX and in-line skating.
🌱 Let your racquet do the talking with a family tennis match at Lurgan Park.
🌱 ‘Pay and Play’ and perfect your swing with an Easter golfing visit to Loughgall Country Park & Golf Course or Silverwood Golf Course at Craigavon Golf & Ski.
And if the rain comes you can always ,,,,,,
☔ Bounce and slide away the hours at Gulliver’s Soft Play at Orchard Leisure Centre or South Lake Soft Play
☔ Pack the cossies and give the kids a splashing time at one of our pools!
