Hazelbank Park — Attraction in White House

An Enchanting Visit to Hazelbank Park

My wife and I recently discovered an unexpected gem - The King and Queen Coronation Garden at Hazelbank Park. I stumbled upon videos of this park while scrolling through TikTok. Amidst the entertaining cat videos and rhythmic dances to Michael Jackson hits, the captivating visuals of Hazelbank's vibrant flora grabbed my attention. As someone who drives past this location almost daily, I was surprised that I hadn't noticed this wonder earlier. Parking at Hazelbank is convenient with plenty of spaces available. On good days, you can even find an ice cream van, ready to serve some delightful treats. As we strolled towards the garden, we were warmly greeted by the security. As we turned the corner, we were met with the delightful sight of the garden - an array of beautiful flowers and trees, perfectly complemented by an exquisite centrepiece of circular metalwork adorned with more blossoms. The garden's beauty had us walking around in awe, but the real surprise came when music began to play, and to our astonishment, some of the trees started spinning! This delightful spectacle was completely unexpected and added to the overall charm of the place. Usually, I find myself grumbling about how my council tax is spent by the Newtownabbey Council, especially with the recent reduction in bin sizes. However, after this enchanting experience at Hazelbank Park, I feel a bit more appreciative of where some of the funds are going. For locals and visitors alike, I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful garden. It's truly a magical place where...

What a blast we had. This park is great when the tides out. You can go down to the beach and walk amongst the rock pools and see what you can spot with kids.

It’s great for BBQs as they have placed around 10 around the park on the higher grass bank over looking the sea which makes for a beautiful day out. I see kids here bringing their McDonald’s and eating it at the picnic tables too so it’s great for families, youth, all ages etc.

The cycle path is quite lengthy. It stretches around the coastal route and goes for several miles. It’s also a lovely walk on a summers day.

The kids love it here. They can run in and out with their wellies on when the weather is not so great. And an ice cream van parks in the car park no matter the weather so there is always 🍦 on tap.

Other amenities Toilets 🚽 which you don’t have to pay for. Exercise equipment put in all NI parks by the govt. to encourage fitness - which the kids love as you can see.

Overall, Hazelbank Park can get fairly busy I.e no picnic tables in the summer so beat heading...
