Dromore town park is located at the edge of the historic town of Dromore, County Down which has ruins or earthworks dating back to the norman conquest where John De Courcy erected a motte and bailey castle where the outlines of its remains can still be seen today.
The park itself offers tranquil walks by the River Lagan. Dromore Town Park is also free of charge with free parking so it offers a fantastic spot to take the family for a day out for a stroll or picnic.
Dromore Town Park recently secured £250,000 of funding to improve the facilities, paths and children's play areas in the Park in 2017. The park is a popular fishing location and offers a lot of biodiversity being in close proximity to the River Lagan and woodland areas it is an inviting spot for keen nature lovers to spot all the different species of plants and animals.
For those who enjoy a thrill there is a custom made pump track in Dromore Town Park. It can be used by amateurs and pros alike with mountain bikes and it is free to use as well.
There is also a play park for kids. The play park provides equipment for inclusion so that children of all ages and abilities can participate in play.
Crossing over two parts of the park is Dromore Viaduct. It is a abandoned railway track which would originally owned by the Banbridge, Lisburn and Belfast Junction railway when it was built in 1863 and it connected the borough of Knockmore to Banbridge. Dromore viaduct passes over Dromore Town Park with arches 10 metres apart and 23 metres tall.
Dromore Town Park is stunning as is but with Dromore Viaduct passing through and overhead it adds to the outstanding beauty of the area, we definitely recommend a visit.
