Ormeau Park

Full Description

Ormeau Park is one of Belfast's best-loved green spaces and a brilliant free option for a family afternoon. With playgrounds, broad paths, mature trees and huge grassy areas, there's plenty to keep the wee ones busy without needing to leave the city.

Start with a play, then take a wander through the park and see what you can spot. The paths are great for a gentle family walk, and the open lawns are ideal for football, a picnic or a game of chase. There's so much space that even a simple visit can feel like a proper little adventure.

Ormeau is also a handy place to meet friends, bring scooters for suitable paths or enjoy some outdoor time between other Belfast plans. Pack snacks and let the children decide whether it's a playground day, a nature walk or a bit of both.

What You'll Find

The park has children’s play areas, tree-lined paths and wide open spaces for walking, running and games. There’s plenty of room to mix playground time with a longer wander around the park.
