The entrance to the site previously consisted of thick high metal gates with barbed wire on top. Council staff have now removed these opening up  the Albert Basin vista.

The greenway entrance will eventually become the entrance to the new 15 acre public park on the Albert Basin Site and the project's task and finish group have also agreed that campaigning group Newry 2020 will seek funding for a pop up park on the site in the interim.
