Strangford Playing Fields in South Belfast is to receive new gates and pathways, with a focus on allowing all-ability access for local schools.
At this week's meeting of the Belfast City Council People and Communities Committee, Sinn Féin Councillor Geraldine McAteer said that council officers had sent confirmation to all elected representatives in Balmoral that money had been made available for the forthcoming works.
Councillor McAteer had proposed a feasibility study report on access paths to the Strangford Playing Fields from Glenveagh Special School, and for a new purpose-built path within the park for the school and the wider community.
