Ards and North Down Borough Council has recently agreed a Play Strategy for the Borough. Outdoor Recreation NI (ORNI) was commissioned to develop a Play Strategy for the period 2021-2032. A new Borough-wide Play Strategy sets out recommendations for the next 11 years and a detailed Action Plan outlining the priorities for the next 5 years which will be subject to a review at the end of this period.
