Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park

Full Description

Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park is a fantastic free family day out in Belfast, with huge open lawns, woodland paths and beautiful gardens to explore. It's famous for its roses, but there's plenty here for children who are more interested in running around than admiring flowers!

Start with a wander through the gardens and see how many different colours the wee ones can spot. The park is especially lovely when the roses are flowering, although the trees and open spaces make it worth visiting throughout the year. There are also woodland and riverside routes if everyone fancies a longer walk.

The large grassy areas are brilliant for a picnic, football or outdoor games. With so much room to explore, you can make this a quick fresh-air stop or spend a whole afternoon enjoying the grounds. It's a lovely choice for a simple family adventure without leaving Belfast.

What You'll Find

Explore the park’s paths, woodland and gardens, with wide lawns giving children lots of space to run and play. The famous rose garden adds extra colour during the flowering season.
