Victoria Park playground

The climbing frames get a solid workout here, but honestly half the kids end up distracted by the planes coming in low over the park — it’s right under the Belfast City Airport flight path, which makes it genuinely brilliant for a bit of unplanned plane spotting. There’s a BMX track that the older ones love, and the pond brings the ducks, which younger kids tend to lose their minds over. It’s a proper mix of things to do, enough that you’re not watching the clock waiting to leave. One of those spots that suits everyone from toddlers to teenagers without really trying.
