Silent Valley Mountain Park Masterplan consultation progress with public

NI Water is delighted to announce the initial community engagement project on the future of Silent Valley Mountain Park has been completed. 

The next stage is to share the findings of the consultation and gain feedback on the plan, which will then form the basis for future development and funding opportunities for the Silent Valley site. 

Silent Valley Masterplan

The Silent Valley Masterplan shows how NI Water could enhance the existing visitor experience whilst preserving the unique tranquility of the site, allowing us to see what the local community and indeed the wider NI public would like to see at this site to make it a truly inclusive attraction for all.
