Creggan, Housing estate in Derry, Northern Ireland
Situated on elevated ground, Creggan extends across the townlands of Ballymagowan and Edenballymore, near the border with County Donegal.
The estate became a restricted area for British security forces in 1972, following increasing tensions and the implementation of internment without trial.
Local residents maintain strong community bonds through neighborhood events and activities at the Bishop's Field sports facilities and Creggan Country Park.
Multiple primary schools, including Holy Child and St John's, serve the educational needs of children living within the residential development.
The former reservoir area has been transformed into a country park with fishing facilities, offering recreational opportunities for local residents.
