"We are delighted to be recognised in the top ten parks in the UK. Our aim at Eoropie Dunes Park is to provide a safe and engaging outdoor play facility that is sympathetic to the natural machair and dune surroundings. Set in 4 acres of land near to the beautiful beach of Traigh Shanndaigh provides us with a unique green space that has been designed to educate, stimulate and entertain youngsters from pre-school age to late teenage and beyond."
Our committee members and volunteers work hard to achieve the high standards required for a Green Flag Award and to be voted for the People's Choice Award by our local community is a great achievement. We are very proud to have a Green Flag Award and grateful for the community support over the 22 years since the Park was first opened."
