Spend the afternoon here with the family and very safe and welcoming. Our kids love the play park and the ice cream van.
This is the first place I have ever visited which has a Dog Loo and it is even signposted.I was at the Peatlands Park today and had an enjoyable afternoon. There is no admission charge to the park. I completed the red walk - which encompassed the whole park of about 5 miles and it took 2 hours. I really enjoyed the experience with the different contrast of the peat bogs with the woodland area and the lakeland walk. The whole park is very well maintained - credit to the ground staff - with clear directions for the different walks to follow. There is seating and information stands on the various wildlife and fauna to look out for located throughout the park. As I visited 'out of season' there was no train running but I can imagine this is a popular place in the summer as it had ample picnic areas. The only negative point I have is the paths in some parts are very muddy but I didn't mind as I came prepared with an old pair of walking boots. There is some noise from the M1 motorway but again it cannot be avoided due to its location.I will definitely visit again in the summer when the plants and wildlife are at their peak.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on Peatlands Park. With 680 acres of mixed habitat and over 10 miles of scenic walks, the Park is indeed quite large. We hope you will continue to use Peatlands Park and we are sure your dog will love it too.
Thank you for your positive comments. We are glad you enjoy using Peatlands for your recreation and hope you continue to visit and enjoy the peace and solitude of Peatlands Park.
Thank you for your positive review and kind comments about the helpfulness of the staff at Peatlands. The Park is very picturesque throughout the seasons and is an ideal setting for artists and photographer’s alike, with its many and varied habitats and interesting subjects. We hope your students will continue gain lots of inspiration from visiting Peatlands Park.
Thank you for taking the time to write a positive and informative review. The Park has 5 way-marked routes totalling over 10 miles (17km) of walks with the 5.5 mile route being the longest. The paths can be very wet in parts at this time of year but accessible with suitable footwear. We hope you and your retriever will continue to visit the Park throughout all its seasons.
We are sorry you were disappointed with your recent trip to Peatlands Park Jarlath. The park is an NIEA Government owned property and as with the other 7 Country Parks, Peatlands Park provides visitors with a pleasant and enjoyable experience enabling them to relax in a countryside setting. There are 5 way-marked routes within the Park providing visitors with over 10 miles of walks through various habitats. Unlike Council parks, Country Parks do not provide play parks. The train runs Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays only during the summer months but wasn’t running over a short period due to technical issues and we do apologise for any inconvenience caused.The vending machines are owned and maintained by Castle Vending. We have provided them a small area to sell hot and cold refreshments should visitors wish to purchase but we have no input into the prices charged.We hope you will come back again and take a leisurely and peaceful walk across our open raised bog or around the tranquil Derryadd Lough or take an early morning autumn ramble through our woodland where you can discover some of the best flora and fauna this part of the country has to offer without bumping into crowds of people.
