Ormeau Park
An outdoor park-gardens in County Antrim
Ormeau Park is one of Belfast's oldest and most beloved public parks, located in the vibrant Ormeau Road area. Families will love the large, well-equipped children's playground with swings, slides, climbing frames, and a dedicated area for toddlers. The park also features a picturesque pond with ducks and swans, perfect for a gentle stroll or feeding the birds.
For active kids, there are tennis courts, a bowling green, and plenty of open grassy spaces for football, frisbee, or picnics. The park has wide, paved paths ideal for scooters and bikes. Facilities include public toilets and benches throughout. It's a great spot for a low-cost family day out, with free entry and nearby cafes on the Ormeau Road.
Practical tips: Free on-street parking is available but can be busy on weekends. The park is accessible via bus routes along the Ormeau Road. Bring bread for the ducks and a ball for kickabout. All ages welcome, from toddlers to teenagers.
