A local body has said it hopes objections from some Saintfield residents will be overcome by a park "for our children and our children's children."
The heritage park was greenlit by planners last week and the Saintfield Development Association (SDA) says it plans to show the full plans for the next two or three years at an event in the village at the end of the month.
The SDA's Brendan Burns said the park is intended to be an open space as opposed to a children's playpark.
