LCCC Residents' Magazine : Spring 2026
A summer of fun with Park Life!
Get ready for the return of the much-loved Park Life programme, bringing a packed schedule of free activities to local parks throughout the summer months.
Families can enjoy lively children’s events on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 11.00am to 1.00pm, while Sunday afternoons will feature live music from 2.00pm to 3.00pm.
Residents of all ages are invited to come together with family and friends to enjoy fun-filled weekends in four beautiful local parks. Park Life will be popping up in Wallace Park, Moira Demesne, Moat Park and Lough Moss Community Garden, with a fantastic mix of attractions including character-themed days, petting farms and performances from talented local musicians.
Taking place across July and August, the programme promises plenty of opportunities to make the most of summer close to home. With so much happening right on your doorstep, Lisburn and Castlereagh are set for a vibrant and event-filled season.
