Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough, Councillor Lindsay Millar said: “I am excited to see council actively working towards enhancing Larne Town Parks for the future.
“The parks are a wonderful asset within the town. They are steeped in history but yet offer so much potential for current and future generations.
“I would be delighted to see investment in Larne Town Parks to bring them back to their former glory yet serving the many needs of Larne residents and the many visitors that stop to enjoy the Larne Park, Chaine Park, the promenade and Chaine Memorial Tower.”
