Lovely park close to the town centre. A great place to take the children. The park has a fantastic winding path that leads down to the sea which the locals call the snake The views are amazing looking out to Scotland. There is also public tennis courts and a fantastic playpark.

Just outside Larne Town near Glenoe village is a little unknown hidden gem known as Clements' Wood. It is a small 10 acre woodland just off the busy Larne A2 Main Dual Carriageway and it consists of over 300 native trees, streams, graveled and bare ground paths and some old stone buildings, fortifications and an old watermill. The woodland also runs along the old disused Larne-Ballyclare Narrow Gauge Railway Line which is no longer in use today but you can still find some evidence of the old line today. This little woodland is great for getting some peaceful breathing space from the busier and noiser parklands in the area.
