Overview

Dungannon Park is a 70-acre former estate located in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, centered around a 12-acre spring-fed lake. The park features a complex network of woodland trails, open parkland, and a series of ponds. It serves as a significant site for coarse angling, with the lake stocked with trout and other freshwater species. Visitors have access to tennis courts, a caravan and camping site, and a designated play area for children. The grounds are situated on undulating terrain, providing elevated views over the surrounding countryside. Its historical significance is rooted in its evolution from a private estate into a managed public amenity maintained by the Mid Ulster District Council.
