A popular play park in Co Antrim will be closed over the school holidays after an "absolutely deplorable" arson attack.
Steeple Play Park in Antrim was targeted by vandals on Thursday night, February 9, with extensive damage caused to the equipment. On the same night, damage was also caused to the toilet block at Centenary Way in Ballyclare.
The park and the toilets have become a hotspot for anti-social behaviour and officials at Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council have spent £30,000 repairing damage to Steeple Park in the last twelve months alone, and a further £20,000 repairing damage to the toilets at Centenary Way.
