Ballyronan in Cookstown

Lovely place for day out with children, fantastic park and great wee spot for splashing about in the water.

A Lovely wee spot on a good day, ample car parking and a big park for the kids, there is a coffee shop and a local Chinese there, great place for a relaxed evening

A great place to relax with your family

Brillaint wee place for a family day put, walking, ice cream and a great playpark with some really different features in it! Kids bring buckets and spades to enjoy the sand and shells etc

Great little spot on the shores of Lough Neah, kids play park, cafe & a small man made beach 👍

Little camperplace good when you like sailing or motorboat

Beautiful location on the shores of Lough Neagh. Free parking, coffee shop and toilets onsite. Children's play area.

A place with a wonderful view of the lake - the largest in this country. You can eat tasty Chinese food while sitting on benches by the lake, admiring the sandy beach and various species of birds. Next to it there is a playground for children, especially for children with disabilities, including autism. I heartily recommend it. It's worth it.

We just sat in the car and people watched. Its so peaceful looking out on to the Lough.

Wonder place beautiful area to be in always down here doing a bit of canoeing great Access to Lough Neagh. Brilliant play park for the children has a small woodland walk also . They have great facilities for coffees, food etc highly recommend a trip to here if not been before.

A picturesque marina with a small tree-lined nature walk. Always makes for an inexpensive way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Looking really well these days after the substantial refurbishment.

Took my boys for water sports during Easter 🐣 break they loved it

View is beautiful esp across the waters. Passed by

The environment is lovely. Cool breeze and all. Did not Lodge. The area needs to improve on transportation

Really nice spot, beside the Marina there's plenty of parking and a park.

Update it's now end of October, the weather is cold & wet so wrap up warm. Not so many people so ideal for dog walkers. The waters are rising so a few flooded areas & paths are wet. I recommend wellies, but saying this my akita Evora absolutely loves it. Always meet friendly people around here Amazing waterways, lots of boats on the marina, slip way for boats & crane. Very large toddler play area clean and tidy. Paths for dog walks. Happy friendly people with chat benches if you want to talk. Loved it would highly recommend theres a cafe & indoor play area for kids. You can feed the ducks too.

There was travellers there who spread excrement on the walls of the laundry rooms.

It's a really nice place for a evening walk

beautiful site. great amenities and friendly helpful staff

Too much weed growing. Could not get boat to a jetty.

Just perfect for my 2yr old grandson and me!! Brill exciting and interesting play park!!

Lots of parking, nice short walks and easy to get to. Greatntobhave cafe and toilets handy too!

My back door step views very lucky to have this so close to our house. Daily walk and views are always beautiful.

Busu hub for a sunday afternoon. It would he perfect for families with young children as there is a huge play park. Cafe facilities are also available at the weekend.

By the Lough. Sure..new floating pods where you can stay. Lots of bird watching opportunity.

Great place for children and walks.

Very very beautiful but the marine life has been destroyed by sand dredging, pollution from various industries, over fishing and poaching. WE CAN STOP THE DREDGING AND POLLUTION IF WE PUSH OUR MLAS.

Beautiful place to enjoy a walk but I think it should be a one way system for cars.

Was very cold and stormy, will need to go back on a better day.

Fantastic. They've spent a lot of money on upgrading walkways n things recently. It's fab. We go there often. Plenty nice local places for a swift coffee. Swans n ducks n play areas. They also recently installed glamping pods on a dock which look fancy.

Fantastic childrens park which has been recently rebuilt to a very high standard. There has been a lot of work put into the area and its well worth a visit

Beautiful location, stunning views of Lough Neagh. Shorefront car park and lovely shore walk.

Brilliant new playback and great scenery

Great area for kids and very clean!

You get a nice view of Lough Neagh here from a point in the North West, looking over toward the Antrim Mountains. There is a nature walk and a playground here too.

Class fantastic beautiful 😍 so clean an we'll laid out gr8t for all ages an abilities 🤩🤩🤩

Beautiful location for an afternoon walk. Small coffee shop and ice cream stall for a light snack, toilet facilitites available and plenty of free parking. New play park for kids. V.Clean and tidy.

Great views but another of dog puppi

A lot of updating has been done this last few years here as new car park and new café and restaurant and play park and 🏆new walk ways looking out to lough nea, great wonderful fresh place for family time

Great play park for kids. Beautiful spot to visit on the lough shore.

Really beautiful and very safe for kids

Only here for an hour but fed ducks played in playpark and walked over to boats. Perfect wee hour for a daddy and 3yr old boy. A quick Google and checked cupboards, found out that ducks like dried oats...like instant porridge oats. Playpark has had massive upgrade and is really fresh. Excellent sensory aspects to it. Seats with harness, wonky type bridge things that may be suitable for wheelchair (but I didn't actually check if wheelchair could easily get up onto it, though I seen one woman with empty buggy on it). Bridge goes up and down gentle as you move over it. Loads of climbing. And some quirky music sounds from things you step on and others you hit with hammer. First every glockenspiel/xylophone type thing. It's a square 3x3 and as you jump on it it makes noise. Also seems to be few glamping pods popping up and new wood work going onto the piers for the boats. Oh and freshly laid paths that should make some of the walks cleaner and add maybe a bit more variety. Pleasantly surprised and will definitely be back. Has really brought it up to speed with some other areas around the lough

WOOOWEE this place is actually stunning! The views is 🔥🔥🔥.... I was there at around 9pm so it was dark so I couldn't get pictures 😞😞.... But trust my word that it's lovely! Especially if your wanting to walk or take dog out!!... Or just out with family!!.... There's like a wee walk way that leads out onto the water and looks over all Lough Neagh 🙌..... Highly recommend this place!! Even on rainy day I reckon it's lovely view!!!.... I'll definitely be visiting again this week or next soo I'll get few photos then 👌👍.... But if your reading this ...... GET YOURSELF THERE!! ANY TIME DAY OR NIGHT 🙌🔥🔥🔥 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 🔥

What a beautiful place in the sun. First time to visit but won't be my last. The park for kids is outstanding. It is all inclusive and has plenty to keep children entertained. There is is a heavy gate in and out to keep children secure within the park. You have the lough with sand and accessible for a paddle. Toilets located on site, parking right beside the play park. Picnic tables, Chinese, cafe and ice cream cabin. Worth a visit.

On going work to upgrade facilities at present. The new playpark for children is excellent car park has been re vamped in this area as well. If i was being super critical when park is busy have witnessed drivers having difficult in same getting turned to get out. Parked cars could get damaged very easily as they have done away with the oneway system around car park.

Fantastic play park for young kids

A lovely place 2.visit at any time

The best park I've seen anywhere. Excellent clean spacious area with lots to do brilliant for kids of all ages

You can spend more time here than you would think. There is a little coffee shop for a relaxing cup of your choice. An ice cream kiosk lets you cool off in the sun with a tasty treat. The playground here is excellent for kids of all ages and has a good range of sensory activities also. There are various pathways along the lough shore for those who enjoy a walk. Staff are very helpful also and toilet facilities are very clean and well looked after.

Love the new park and the landscaping at the Marina.

Love place to visit for the whole family a play park for kids and big kids, and a lovely view of the Lough with a little beach!

Great waterfront kids park with a small cafe

Home of The Ballyronan Bluetits Chill Swimming group. Fantastic All abilities play park with a changing spaces toilet. Tea/coffee pod. Beautiful shallow wee beach ideal for kids to paddle on. Gets stunning Sunrises!

Lovely spot for a short walk or to enjoy a picnic.

Lovely place and a great place for the kids to play

Beautiful place definitely recommend, dogs aloud to go too. The park is amazing

Nice for a walk would be great if there wasnt millions of flies

Work in progress will be great when finished. New car park and playground are 5 star. Marina is having necessary repairs but needs upgrade as showing signs of age. It is however a great spot for sailing from just watch entrance to the marina. It is just over 4 ft depth and deeper keels will drag in mud. Keep well clear of weed on port side as exit. If entrance was dredged and the jettys were upgraded this would be a 5 star for sailing.

New Park is amazing. So clean and tidy

Lovely little place currently undergoing a transformation. There will be four luxury glamping Pods on the water and a new look out site for new views of Lough Neagh. The children's play area is also being updated to provide a sensory rich experience and provision of changing places facility. WiFi isn't working yet so I enjoyed my cappuccino in tranquility looking out towards the harbour.

The updates have improved the area, fun day out for lil ones

Lovely family friendly place and very well kept

Beautiful place to take the kids and brilliant for swimming 😊

The new refurbishment is amazing kids loving it lots to do about it

Work finished. Looks good. Good spot for a picnic.

Beautiful views looks well now its had a wee make over very much needed

Ballyronan Marina will be a great place to visit when the new renovations be finished it will be very suitable for children as it has a new up to date play park

I nice walk and total relaxation

At the time of writing it's under heavy construction and a lot of marina is not accessible. So I would like to revisit this review and offer some insight on a few things you can still do here if you choose to visit. The main car park and side forest walkway are the only things that are open. Both are free. The forest walk itself is about 20 minutes full circle but has some great shots of Wooper Swans and lots of great info on how to spot otters tracks and dens (Holts) with the potential to spot a few yourself!

Ballyronan sa snazi toto miesto urobit atraktivnym. Ci uz preliezkami pre deti, novym vacsim parkoviskom, alebo inymi sluzbami. Dal by som mozno aj vsetkych 5 hviezd, keby sa starali a postrekovali cele to uzemie proti komarom. Mozete zaparkovat auto, ale v tom momente mate na aute cely roj komarov. Ak chcete len tak sediet a vychutnavat si pohlad na vodu a popritom si dat zmrzlinu z nedalekeho obchodu, tak vam toto miesto vrelo odporucam, inac sa mu vyhybajte. Nerad pisem negativne recenzie, ale na toto miesto nemam vdaka tymto komarom nic pozitivne.

Normally very good but getting a revamp, so limited spaces

Not advisable to visot now with all the work going on

Nothing much there tbh. 5mins is enough. Hopefully the new marina will add to it.

A lot of building work is going on. No access to the lough due to work fences. Try 2022 to visit

Had a lovely walk around the woodland and cant wait to get back to enjoy another w end and fire pit with bbq

Usually a very nice place but with all the works going on it is very inconvenient.

Looking forward to new park opening hopefully soon

Lovely short walk through a wooded area

Great place to get fresh air and watch wind on the water and glimpse the Mourne mountains on a clear day

Great marina and leisure centre.

Lovely day, very few people about because of covid but enjoyed our walk about in the sunshine.

Nice spot for a picnic and good areas for walking when finished.

Near my home, beautiful scenery and caravan spaces, wildlife and toilets, small doc for boats. Always nice for a walk

Cool place to stop by for a pic-nic, right on the edge of Lough Neagh with its very own little sandy beach.

All amenities available, calm and relaxing walk with Ice Cream followed with excellent Chinese takeaway watching the Ducks,Swans and Seagulls

Beautiful weather,sailing boats on lough,few canoes too, lots of ice cream, families enjoying the sunshine & feeding ducks, couples holding hands, perfect afternoon for a strole.

Very good marina. People very friendly. Shop,bars and garage all very handy

No swimming, no bathing, no inflatables, no fun, no enjoyment. This is the largest lake in UK or ROI. I think you've missed a trick here

Brilliant, love the outdoor nature and wellbeing events

Good birding spot, good playthings for the kiddies. Beach with ducks and gulls to feed. Covid measures in place at the caravan centre toilets. Chinese takeaway was closed at the time but looks to be covid secure too.

Lovely marina and walk through the small woods.

Wonderful spot beside lough neagh. Enjoy the caravan site and explore the area.

Lovely wee part of the world ! We park up.here often and have a cuppa and a sandwich!

Large car park,location seemed in need of a little refurbishment but the view is magnificent

So idyllic, nice walks, child playparks are excellent for all ages.

Ballyronan was pleasent today, 11 degrees.

Love sailing here with the local boat club. Very friendly and helpful.

Lovely place to visit and seemingly very popular in the summer.. Lovely views and has amenities on site also

Love love the tea room here stunning views
