Carnfunnock Country Park – a 191-arce site just outside Larne on the beautiful Coast Road – is set to undergo a major transformation thanks to over £6.1m of funding from UK Levelling Up Fund.

 

A Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) has now been submitted to the Planning Department for the redevelopment proposal at Carnfunnock – this is the pre-planning process.

 

Council is keen to hear feedback on the plans from residents and visitors to Carnfunnock Country Park. Information on the consultation process, a link to the consultation survey and key information documents are available online at

www.midandeastantrim.gov.uk/LevellingUpCarnfunnock from week commencing 15 January 2024.

 

Proposals will also be displayed at Carnfunnock Country Park from this date. 

 

A full planning application is currently being prepared for the project which will be completed following feedback received through the public consultation process.

 

The innovative plans for Carnfunnock will enhance the natural heritage asset – which will in turn will help revitalise the Larne area and beyond by creating a space that people want to visit and come back to.

 

The key components of the project will include construction of a new visitor centre which will house a reception/shop space, café and toilet facilities, overlooking the coastline.

 

It will also see an upgrade to existing caravan park amenity block facility providing modern facilities for the overnight guests.

 

A bike park will create an attraction for older children and refurbishment of the adventure play park to include inclusive and accessible play ensuring fun for all. Path infrastructure work and a new maze viewing platform will improve accessibility throughout the site. 

 

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim, Alderman Gerardine Mulvenna, said: “We are delighted to announce the next stages in the redevelopment of Carnfunnock Country Park and look forward to the opportunity to share the innovative plans to date and hear your feedback.

 

“The plans will transform this ever-popular site, improving current amenities and introducing exciting new additions to the area.  The redevelopment will not only make a significant impact on the park, but also the surrounding area.”
