Lagan Valley Regional Park
Lagan Valley Regional Park is Northern Ireland's first and only Regional Park.
The River Lagan and its surrounding valley landscapes are renowned for their natural beauty. At the heart of the Lagan Valley are the River Lagan and canal systems that form the main access and wildlife corridor bridging two of Northern Ireland’s population centres. This unique area is typified by its rolling landscapes, ornamental parklands and farmland. The Lagan Valley Regional Park was established in 1967 as one of three unique semi-urban designations in the UK at that time.
The Lagan Valley Regional Park's Strategic Vision is for:
A Park that offers a thriving, diverse and valued riverside heritage that welcomes exploration, learning and enjoyment whilst ensuring a sustainable environment for all.
In realising this Vision their Mission Statement is:
“We will protect and conserve the unique landscape character of Lagan Valley Regional Park and the Lagan Valley AONB, enhance its biodiversity, cultural heritage and promote its benefit to visitors and the community.”
