FORTHILL Park in Enniskillen is to close for four months to allow for a £210,000 investment programme to refurbish the popular, historic park. This new investment is funded by the Landfill Communities Fund and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, with works to include significant conservation of Cole’s Monument, one of the most prominent landmarks of Enniskillen’s skyline. Conservation, restoration and repairs will be made to the stonework and viewing platform, and the statue, sitting atop a 30-metre Doric column, will be cleaned. Pathways and park furniture will be upgraded, which will see reclaimed street furniture and granite kerbstones from the ongoing Enniskillen Public Realm scheme installed in the park as part of the Council’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
