Castle Gardens have been re-opened to the public following a restoration project which is still on-going. The War Memorial and the fountains have been restored and the gardens have been newly landscaped.
The World War II air raid shelter, which is a rare surviving building, has been transformed into an education centre with information displays. A modern public toilets block has been built and will be accessible during park opening hours.
It is the site of Lisburn castle, a 17th Century fortified manor house first built in the 1620s. The house was burnt down in the fire of 1707 and not rebuilt, but the fortified walls and garden terraces remain.
The part of the gardens presently in public use dates from late Victorian times and contains several important scheduled historic monuments, including the 1677 red sandstone gateway, the Wallace drinking fountain and the memorial erected in 1891 to commemorate Lisburn's landlord and great benefactor, Sir Richard Wallace (1818 - 1890). The Gardens also provide a splendid setting for the city’s memorial to the First and Second World Wars.
This multi takes you on a short stroll around the gardens. There is very limited on-street parking near the entrance to the gardens, so the best plan is to use one of the many car parks in the city centre and walk the short distance up Castle Street.
