More Tranquil Experience for Hazelbank Sensory Garden

The user experience at Hazelbank Park’s new sensory garden will be further enhanced with the amendment of a Dog Control Order to exclude dogs from the area, with the exception of assistance dogs.  Opened at the beginning of the summer, the fully accessible garden features a range of sensory equipment, raised beds with plants designed to stimulate the senses, a sandpit area and seating.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Billy Webb said;

“We are continually working to make our council facilities and services more accessible for those with additional needs. Sensory gardens can be a very therapeutic and calming place, helping to improve physical fitness, health and mood and extending our Dogs Exclusion Order to this sensory garden will ensure our users can enjoy a more tranquil experience in a quiet area within a popular park.”
