Ecos Centre

Entertain the kids on the ecos island with fun interactive zones, toy tractors, sandpit, duck feeding, playparks, funny litterbugs and a willow tunnel.

You can easily make a day of it by bringing along a BBQ or picnic, enjoy the fun activities and go for a walk or cycle along the extensive network of paths in the ecos park that extends to approximately 150 acres.

Within the park there are playparks, picnic sites and walks that take you over bridges, through the willow fairy ring, around the ecos lake and alongside the Braid River.

If you are a keen cyclist you could follow the ecos trail – National Cycle Network 97 all the way to Glenarm or alternatively just enjoy an easy pedal through ecos with the family.
