Pickie Park & Bangor Harbour; A Great Family Fun Day Out
Bangor Northern Ireland offers some great attractions and activities for any family seeking seaside fun. Pickie Park is a famous local park along Bangor Harbour. Bangor is in County Down - Northern Ireland, not far from Belfast. On a sunny day - its a great place to go for a walk and ice cream! :-)
Bangor Harbour is the largest marina in Northern Ireland and it opened in 1989 on the southern shore of Belfast Lough. Since that time, this marina has been famously known among the Irish people for providing a berth in the centre of Bangor. If you went to visit Bangor Harbour, you will find yourself having a walk beside lots of yachts that are parking there and this is actually one of the reasons why this marina has been awarded five Anchors by the Yachting Harbour Association. One of the famous things found there is the sculpture of the old man eating a pastie and seated there by the waters, the back of this man is showing an old map of Bangor (
The next fun stop in this video and trip is the Pickie Park which is located in Bangor as well and which was one creation done after the appearance of this marina. Pickie Park is one of the places that families should choose when they are searching for something fun to do and give the kids the chance to play around for a little bit (
There are different things that one could do inside Pickie Park in Bangor - or actually different games and activities that one could enjoy - such as paddling with the swans in the lagoon, playing mini golf, enjoying the water zorbing, or going on a race around the track in the electric carts, there is also the Pickie Puffer and families could enjoy their time sitting in the cafe and having something to drink while leaving the kids playing in the indoor kids area which is completed with an activity table, blackboard play kitchen and a selection of toys and coloring sheets.
One of the unexpected things which you might never be able to consider is the Irish weather upon which the games and the opening hours of the park might differ - it is usually open from 9am to 7:30pm, seven days of the week but this might change according to the weather.
Pickie Park is considered the gateway to Marine Gardens which is a good place for having a nice walk since one will receive panoramic views for Bangor Bay and the hills of Antrim beyond - this is considered the perfect place for those who want to sit down and relax a little bit to give their minds the chance to calm it all down.
Enjoying a walk by Bangor Harbour and getting the kids to enjoy their time in Pickie Park will both bring you to explore the city of Bangor on a closer look. These are not the only things which one could do in Bangor, county Down, but there are still places to visit and attractions to see. Within a walking distance from the marina, you will get the chance to find cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, and everything you might be searching for and you could even come across one of the famous touristic attractions which is Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and Heritage Centre ( (
Bangor is known to be a large town in county Down, Northern Ireland. It is a seaside resort on the southern side of Belfast Lough and within the Belfast Metropolitan Area, it was even voted back in 2007 by UTV viewers as the most desirable place to live in in Northern Ireland - and we have to agree that a lot of places in Bangor are calming for the mind and the body.
There are some places which people could aim to visit while they are in Bangor to make sure that they have seen the best out of this city. These places will include the Clandeboye Estate, the Ward Park, the Clandeboye Park, Castle Park, Bangor Abbey, Bangor Carnegie Library, Bangor Castle, Somme Heritage Centre, Bangor Market House, Bangor Old Custom House, McKee Clock and Bangor Walled Garden.
We have had a great time in Pickie Park and we also enjoyed the idea of checking Bangor Harbour and walking along it - the kids enjoyed the different attractions which are found inside the park and we loved sitting there in the cafe, walking inside the park and also we enjoyed the ice cream we managed to get ourselves :-) It is really one of the places we would suggest for those searching for a fun thing to do in Bangor during their stay there.
One tip to keep in mind before heading to Pickie Park: always check the weather and make sure that the activities and games there will be all available and that the park will be open during the same known hours, because other than that you might find yourself missing a lot of fun there - it is best to go there during the summer days to enjoy the water activities as well.

N. IRELAND: BELFAST: CROSS COMMUNITY PEACE GATHERING
English/Nat
In an unprecedented display of cross-community support for peace in Northern Ireland,
Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble and nationalist SDLP leader John Hume came together for the first time on Tuesday for the sake of the Yes campaign.
Along with U-2 rock star Bono, they stood on the banks of Belfast's River Lagan and urged a massive Yes vote in Friday's Northern Ireland referendum.
It was an unusual ensemble outside Belfast's Waterfront Hall.
For the first time ever, Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble and nationalist S-D-L-P leader John Hume came together for the sake of the Yes campaign.
The two politicians were joined by Irish rock legends U-2 and Tim Wheeler, the lead singer for the Northern Irish rock group Ash.
They stood on the banks of the River Lagan to urge a massive support in Friday's referendum for the Good Friday peace deal.
The cross-community gathering came shortly before Ash and U-2 were to star at a peace concert at Waterfront Hall, held for thousands of young people.
U-2 frontman Bono joked that the ensemble resembled the good, the bad and the ugly, but wouldn't hazard a guess about who the ugly was.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Hopefully we can just highlight the good things when there is a lot of folk out there highlighting the bad things I suppose. You know I know Bob McCartney called all of these people silly and superficial is what he said today or yesterday, well they're not superficial. They are in fact the future and they are in fact our constituency to use your words.
SUPER CAPTION: Bono
SOUNDBITE: (English)
His generation are the generation that fully understand this problem, their generation throughout their lives have suffered this problem and they want this to be the last generation who have and the future generations will leave this quarrel behind them and that is a very powerful message coming from our young people.
SUPER CAPTION: John Hume - SDLP leader
SOUNDBITE: (English)
It's going to give all of these people here a happy time, its also going to be indicating to everybody the sort of optimistic forward looking approach that we hope that people in Northern Ireland will take and respond to. I mean this is just good fun.
SUPER CAPTION: David Trimble - Ulster Unionist leader
The appearance of Trimble alongside Hume indicates the degree of concern at the
gathering pace of the No campaign, led by the Reverend Ian Paisley.
Upon hearing of his rivals' performance, he said Trimble was already rocking from dissent within his party and would be rolling after most Protestants vote against compromise.

Snow Patrol Ward Park 2010 - Hands Open
Live in ward park, Bangor. 5th June 2010
One Town ...One Sunday afternoon ...Three free gigs
...decided I needed to get the bike out if I was to see all three events. The first one was at Cockle Row in Groomsport where apart from the music there was entertainment galore for the kids. Secondly I visited Ward Park where every Sunday during July & August an open-air concert/gig is held. Lastly, I raced down to the Hub at Queens Parade to see several groups, bands and singers perform. Regretfully though, with all the rushing about, I did miss the opening ceremony of the Topper World chamionships at Ballyholme yacht club !
