Place & story
A community garden
A Belfast council report of April 2014 records that Knocknagoney Linear Park’s community garden opened in May 2013. Work in the park included woodland thinning, an outdoor classroom, a kickabout area and tree planting. The Knocknagoney Area Forum brought residents, schools, churches and public agencies into the project. [2]
Learning with Holywood
Knocknagoney Primary School began a shared-education partnership with Saint Patrick’s in Holywood in 2018. Principal Ann Burton’s account describes pupils working together on computing, technology and coding, with lessons hosted by both schools and parents helping. The programme expanded from Primary 4 to include Primary 3 through Primary 6. [3]
