Where should you park when visiting Lough Neagh Discovery Centre?
The practical answer
The **Lough Neagh Discovery Centre has its own free visitor car park** at Oxford Island, so use that rather than parking elsewhere around Lough Neagh.
Accessibility information for the venue identifies a **free open-air surface car park** in front of the building, with **six Blue Badge bays**. There is no road crossing between the car park and the Centre entrance.
The same parking is a useful starting point for Oxford Island's nature trails, bird hides, play area and Lough Neagh shoreline.
The Discovery Centre's building hours are shorter than the wider Oxford Island reserve hours, so if your visit is mainly a walk, check the current gate/access arrangements before leaving the car late in the day.
