Belfast Council reviews proposal to rename North Belfast playpark after 6 year old

A Belfast council report has been commissioned to look at a DUP proposal to rename a playpark in North Belfast after a young boy who tragically died on holiday this year.

Under a proposal by Councillor for Oldpark Dean Pankhurst, Glenbryn Playpark would be named Corey Jack Aughey Memorial Park in tribute to the six year old local boy who played regularly in the council park, and who tragically died in an accident in Spain in June.

Elected representatives at Belfast City Council ’s recent People and Communities Committee heard the motion, which states: “This council notes with deep sadness the passing of Corey Aughey on holiday in June 2022. We also note that Corey was a well known and loving character within the Glenbryn area of North Belfast.
