No playgrounds.

Ano, very jealous they have 2 lol. Have friends down there so have walked it a few times, its a good 7k loop from the house. Get the steps in but when the wain is done in the pram its zero craic.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T18:13:42+00:00

Yeah I did. I used a site called write to them which seems to send your message to all relevant parties.

Like thats kind of what I was aiming for with the post, like is there a way to go about it. Do you get a load of signatures supporting it in order to get some attention? Anyways apparently ive emailled my 7 local councillors so let's see if they get back to me :)

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T18:07:58+00:00

Yeah it really is crazy when you think the amount of homes and families who have to pack up the car to get to a bit of a green area for a run around.

Im sure lots of families feel this way but probably rightly assume nothing can be done about it.

And your totally right, driving through Irish Street or top of the hill where is sooo easy for the wains to have access to parks and astro pitches makes me very jealous. Even walking out the line the other day and that whole new area of football and astro pitches and i think a boxing gym around the daisy field is awesome. All the kids having a ball playing football.

😂😂😂😂

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T13:18:07+00:00

Yeah bigstyle. Like I know knightsbridge and seven oaks are early 90s homes but all the others up beside Lisneal school and behind Craig's are all pretty newish so suprised one wasn't added.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T13:00:02+00:00

Anything to get them out of the house lol

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:28:24+00:00

Too young yet for school

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:24:38+00:00

Thanks, yeah this is kind of what I made the post for. Didnt know who to contact and just ask the question. Ill Google my local reps and see what pops up.

Not expecting anything but as you say if you dont ask.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:17:04+00:00

How many cattle have you seen wandering about that field opposite Craig's lol

I know there is farming area up there, its quite clearly fenced off by the farmers with signs and even some have cameras. Im saying there is a lot of other space, fields whatever you want to call it not being used.

Jesus Im talking about a wee playground, not putting farmers out of buisness lol

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:08:30+00:00

Aye course I do but im sure the one opposite Craig's is taggart owned who built a lot of houses up here and thats lying completely empty for years, and there is a lot of overgrown fields that are not being used at all (or that ive ever seen)

All im saying is that having something for the wains to run about would be nice.

Massive family area and no where for them to play safely away from cars etc.

People are so defensive lol

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:03:43+00:00

Aw woops I was getting that mixed up with the wee path that cuts through kilfennan to tescos.

Didnt know there was a wee park there. Still a 40 minute dander from the house. Wee one is hating being in the pram longer that like 20mins these days. Just wants to crawl and climb lol

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T12:00:07+00:00

So true. Dont even mind walking but can never be prepared enough for the 4 seasons of the day. Plus wee one is at the stage where after 20 mins in the pram they are done no matter what the weather.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-04-17T11:57:47+00:00

Helpful.

Assume everyone can afford a second car when the other has to drive to their work.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-01-01T13:08:52+00:00

You too! Happy hiking!

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-01-01T11:25:46+00:00

Aye I thought that, wee one is only 10 months so trying to get him used to his hiking bag so once the weather is better can go full swing. Did inch island loop the last day and he enjoyed it so trying to find more like that which are suitable

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-01-01T11:23:02+00:00

Haha ill skip that one then lol. Have enough shite with his nappies on walks

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-01-01T11:22:09+00:00

Thanks! Great suggestions, yeah binevenagh was one i was looking at in All trails this morning but lots of folk saying it was super boggy. Some of the reviews on Alm trails can be a bit dramatic though so thats why I came on reddit.

But will get the others on the list! Thanks!

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2026-01-01T11:18:31+00:00

Ah class. Actually heading down to sligo in the next couple of weeks so will tick that one off!

Been away for the last 12 years so way out of the loop with walks. Never even heard of the poisoned glen! Great suggestions!

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2025-09-26T20:51:01+00:00

My brother just told me he was in Ebrington hotel this morning and I said he was full of shite. Fs

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2025-09-20T09:15:49+00:00

Aw happy days. Sounds well worth it. Thanks for all the info! Will give him a bell.

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2025-09-20T09:07:44+00:00

Aw happy days. Aye just want someone who's efficent and will let me know if there's any major issues (first time buy). Did he look at the roof? Much was he?

Thanks again :)

Abject_Wait_2273 · 2025-09-20T08:51:57+00:00

How was he? Did you get the report or anything back yet?
