Ormeau Park

Ormeau Park - the perfect place for a relaxing bike ride in the middle of Belfast. As the oldest city park in the city, opened in 1871, it offers a pleasant mix of history, nature and leisure activities. The spaciousness and the dense green of the old trees create an atmosphere that immediately brings a bit of peace to hectic everyday life.Here you will find a surprising variety: from BMX and bicycle paths to basketball and tennis courts to bowling greens and a beautifully designed flower garden. For me as a cyclist, the appeal lies particularly in the gentle curves and the wide paths that lead through the green area. In some corners you can still feel the touch of the Victorian era, especially along the beautiful avenues.The park offers many entrances - be it from the Ormeau Road, the Ormeau Embankment or the Ravenhill Road.

Fabulous woodland park in the city that is particularly nice in Autumn. Tarmac paths run through the park and there are numerous short gravel/muddy trails for anyone on a gravel/CX/MTB bike to explore.

Sit down on one of the park benches and indulge in a spot of people watching or get some physical exercise on the outdoor gym equipment, tennis courts, etc. There is even a small BMX track where you can 'get some air'.
