A Belfast councillor is pushing for late opening at major parks after a survey showed public support for 24-hour access.

A Belfast councillor is again pushing for late opening and night lighting at some of the city's biggest parks. This comes a year after a survey showed the public wanted 24-hour opening in three parks, but the parks remain locked at night despite this demonstrated public support.

The councillor has expressed frustration at the lack of action on the issue. The campaign for extended park access has previously gathered evidence of demand from residents for these facilities to be available outside current opening hours.
