As part of the Maghera Regeneration Programme, plans are being developed for a new Wetlands Park on the outskirts of Maghera, which will offer a peaceful escape for residents and visitors, with nature walks and spaces for family outings. 

The development of the Wetlands Park will create more green space and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, promote more social interaction and aid better health and wellbeing. 

Enhancing biodiversity through habitat creation will be a key factor in developing the wetland site as a quality green space. Other features will include a high-quality walking trail network to allow visitors to explore the site and experience nature; natural play areas for children to engage and play creatively in a natural setting; nature interaction points with integrated seating and platforms to allow viewing and pond dipping; the installation of a bird hide; a covered outdoor event space and picnic facilities; and a dog exercise area.
