About this place Ormeau Park

Ormeau Park, the large Victorian park south of the city centre off the Ormeau Road, is Belfast's longest-documented gay cruising ground and appears in cruising directories and local guides. Activity is discreet and after dark. It is a public park in a legally safe jurisdiction — Northern Ireland fully protects LGBTQ+ people — but ordinary public-decency laws apply, so use discretion, respect other park users and stay aware of your surroundings.

I walk, run and play with my son (2 years old) every day in the park. Since Covid time there is a Coffe trailer that pollutes with the sound and the smog from the big petrol engine. When it will be removed?

I was on a lovely walk enjoying the view. That was until a man walked up to me and started threatening me with a baseball bat.

Ormeau Park is a beautiful park set in South East of the city. It’s a great green and mature park and woodland. It’s ideal for a brisk walk or for a more leisurely stroll. There is a kids play area, exercise apparatus and tennis courts. A nice green area away from the bustle of city life.

Nice park in the city which I should probably make a point of going to more often. There is plenty of space to walk around and lots of nice grassy areas to lie in the sun. Also areas for people to play various sports like tennis, football and basketball.

This park is a fair walk from the city centre (about 30 minutes). We spent about an hour walking round. Nice to do something out of the city centre and outside of the usual tourist spots.

Lovely park close to city centre (we walked there), 2 playgrounds, we visited the one at Ravenhill Rd entrance but there is also one at Park Rd entrance. Lovely wide paths, quite clean also.
