Craigavon Lakes / Craigavon City Park🌱 📍Craigavon, Co. Armagh A spacious parkland setting of around 400 acres, surrounding two lakes and offering miles of accessible walking routes with plenty of space and open water views. Well-marked, mostly flat surfaced trails run throughout, including a 3km perimeter cycle path and a 3-mile main loop, with a large network of paths to explore. You can start the walk from South Lake Leisure Centre, which offers ample parking along with bike hire, a café, and toilets, or use the smaller car park off the Tullygally Roundabout. There is lots of space to roam and explore, plus an enclosed dog run for secure off-lead time. Because this is a shared-use area, it can be busy with cyclists and joggers, so dogs with limited recall may need to stay on lead along main paths. The parkland is a haven for wildlife, and incorporates Tannaghmore Gardens and Animal Farm, perfect if you want to extend your visit. 💡TIP: Blue Green algae has been known to appear in these lakes. Always check before allowing your dog to swim/drink or access the water. 🏠Facilities -Multiple car parks -Toilets & Cafe at Leisure Centre -Multiple access points -Benches dotted throughout 👍Pros: -Enclosed dog run -Extensive, well-marked path network -Flat and accessible terrain -Plenty of space to explore 👎Cons: -Can be busy with cyclists and joggers -Can be very muddy in sections -Blue Green Algae often in Lakes 🐶Our Ratings: Cleanliness: 3/5 Space: 3/5 Quietness: 3/5 Off lead suitability: 4/5 Fun factor: 3/5 🌻Reactive friendly: Potentially. There is generally enough space and width to keep distance, however this can be challenging at busy times, especially on the main paths. There are also some off-lead dogs but owners generally keep close when passing others. I would advise reactive owners to start at the smaller car park rather than the Leisure Centre for a quieter start. 💜Perfect for: -Training walks -Confidence building -People watching & neutrality training #nidogwalks #dogfriendlyni #dogsofnorthernireland #dogwalkcommunity
