Case study
Redeveloping Portrush Recreation Grounds with 拢1.6 million funding
The Levelling Up Fund has awarded over 拢1.6 million for the redevelopment of Portrush Recreation Grounds. This investment has brought facilities back into use for the local community.
The site on the Ramore headland in Portrush is a key destination for visitors to Northern Ireland鈥檚 north coast.
Over the last 100 years, the area has provided the community and visitors with:
- sports facilities
- recreation
- leisure
Before the project was completed, it had become an eyesore. There were parts of the land which were:
- closed off to the public for much of the year
- underused
The funding to improve its appearance has encouraged more people to use and enjoy the site.
The new recreation ground includes:
- a accessible toilet
- refreshed street furniture
- an adventure play park
- a large event space
- a bowling green
- a new pavilion
- new trees
