About Craigavon Park
Craigavon Park was named after the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Lord Craigavon, to commemorate his visit.
The park is popular with joggers and families. It has large open areas, and lots of established trees providing much needed shade.
A gravel walking track loops through native bush. As you explore the track you will also find fitness equipment, and a dog exercise area.
There is a large, fully fenced playground for younger children. Older children can cross Kinross Street to Sister Rene Shadbolt Park to use the skate park.
Barbecues, picnic tables, accessible toilets, and a drinking fountain next to the playground make this the perfect spot for a day out.
Access the car park from Connaught Street. Buses stop near the car park. Pedestrians can also access the park from Connell and Kinross streets.
Follow the 730m Craigavon Path around the park.
Accessible features at this park
Flat, paved paths connect the car park with the playground and other features of the park. There is one accessible parking space in the car park.
