Wide paths through a quiet park.

Lagan Meadows - a real gem for those who like it quiet but still want a bit of adventure. The path winds through gentle meadows and dense bushes, always accompanied by the gentle melody of the Lagan, which flows leisurely along here. It is a real play of colors, especially in autumn - the leaves shine in all shades of yellow and red, and the grass slowly loses its rich green. On the bike, nature comes directly to you here. The narrow paths are easy to ride, but every now and then there is a small puddle or a tight bend that keeps you alert. Sometimes a dog or a walker crosses your path, so it's better to slow down a bit and enjoy. There are also a few quiet corners where you can stop for a moment and let your gaze wander over the gentle ups and downs of the meadows. It is best to come here early in the morning or in the evening, when there is a special silence over the meadows. The clear air, the scent of damp moss and earth and the gentle rustling of the leaves almost make you forget that Belfast isn't that far away. A real contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city and ideal for a little break.

The paths meander through lush greenery that makes you feel like you're far away from the city. A well-kept park that offers space for both exercise and relaxed rolling. The tree-lined avenues are particularly beautiful - perfect for cycling in the interplay of light and shadow. The route also runs along the Connswater Community Greenway, a green corridor through Belfast that beautifully connects Orangefield Park with other green areas of the city. The evening atmosphere with the play of light on the manicured lawn and the clouds over Belfast is definitely worth a moment to pause - a calm contrast to the otherwise busy city. Ideal for a relaxed ride in the early morning or to wind down in the evening without being too far away.

Great safe wooded parkland trail walks for families, outdoor gym facilities, play parks for the kids, all weather football pitches. Well maintained grounds with lots of plants, sculptures etc to discover. A reasonable level of fitness required as some of the grounds are on steep hills.

Just of the towpath is the Meadows. A really peaceful part of the stretch, especially considering how close it is to the town centre. This route in the meadow itself explores a beautiful Local Nature Reserve in the Lagan Valley with varied wildlife habitats. Including the odd adventurous Seal and Kingfishers. Spent many a time just sitting on a tree here, having not seen a soul for hours. A real gem.

Perfect way to get out to Comber. Connecting easily with nearby tours of Strangford Lough and Ards. You will be amazed just how quite things get, and all only 30 minutes from Belfast.

The park has an ecotrail, outdoor gym and children's playground. The park also contains Orangefield Playing Fields with a bowling green, tennis courts, soccer pitches and a Velodrome !

The Velodrome has to be booked through Belfast City Councils webpage ( book the football pitch for entry to Velodrome ) https://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/Things-to-Do/Outdoor-leisure-activities/Sports-pitches-and-facilities/Book-a-pitch
